I—The Use of Simulators for Radar Training
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 July 1962
Extract
Training courses on marine radar simulators are held in this country at the Navigation Schools and Colleges in London, South Shields, Hull, Glasgow, Liverpool and Cardiff, with Southampton starting at some future date. The entry for each five-day course is limited to six members and places on the courses are at present generally restricted to serving masters and chief officers. The purpose of these courses is to give seagoing masters and senior officers realistic practice in manœuvring their vessels by radar in conditions of bad visibility without any of the risk involved in an actual encounter between vessels at sea, as well as risk-free opportunity to try out and test the different methods of radar presentation and plotting.
