This EMDAR evolution involves tracking a stationery TSMO that begins just on the edge of EMDAR range. It is intended to provide training and competency evaluation on interpretation of waterfall data, operation of contacts board and operation of narrowband EMDAR.
This course provides an introduction to tactical sensor systems (EMDAR), including underlying theory, basic interpretation techniques and console operation.
The EMDAR console allows the tactical team to analyse and manage data from the vessel's EM detection arrays, which provides data to identify and locate other vessels in surrounding space.
The console is made up of two panels. One provides displays sensor data, while the other allows users to manage the interpretation of that data (in the form of identifying 'contacts').
The EMDAR waterfall module presents EMDAR detections on a distinctive visualisation that provides historical context and allows pattern analysis to help identify possible contacts.
This panel works in conjunction with TL-EMD01. It is dominated by the Contact Board module (in active mode), which allows users to add and manage EMDAR contacts.
Several major vessel systems output EM radiation at detectable levels. MIE (impulse) engines output significant amounts of EM across UV, IR and magnetic bands, for example.
Each emitting system has an EM Output profile which determines how much EM is output at a given power or operating level, across all five EM bands.
The EMDAR console allows the tactical team to analyse and manage data from the vessel's EM detection arrays, which provides data to identify and locate other vessels in surrounding space.
