MARPA Targeting Symbols
Acquiring a target. Concentric, dashed green rings radiate from the target while the radar is locking
onto it.
Target has been acquired. A solid green ring indicates the location of a target that the radar has
locked onto. A dashed green line attached to the circle indicates the projected course over ground or
the GPS heading of the target.
Dangerous target is in range. A red ring flashes from the target while an alarm sounds and a message
banner appears. After the alarm has been acknowledged, a solid red dot with a dashed red line
attached to it indicates the location and the projected course over ground or the GPS heading of the
target. If the safe-zone collision alarm has been set to Off, the target flashes, but the audible alarm
does not sound and the alarm banner does not appear.
Target has been lost. A solid green ring with an X through it indicates that the radar could not lock
onto the target.
Closest point of approach and time to closest point of approach to a dangerous target.
