Radar and ARPA are used both for anti-collision purposes and for navigational purposes. The requirements for ‘ground-stabilization for navigation’ and ‘sea-stabilization for collision-avoidance’ seem to exclude each other. Since the development of True Motion radar (TM), there is the need for an input of Own Ship's velocity. Since then, the mode of velocity input and, consequently, the mode of stabilization have been the subject of controversy. The problem became even more important by the introduction of ARPA, by the use of video map overlays and by the introduction of complex integrated navigation systems including radar.
