Extract

The International Maritime Consultative Organization (now IMO) carriage requirement for ARPA began to take effect in 1984 and became progressively mandatory worldwide; prior to this, for certain classes of vessels trading to the USA, a national requirement was introduced in 1982. These radar plotting aids perhaps constituted the first widespread use of computing power aboard merchant vessels. In implementation, even the early ARPAS were much more than the mere plotting aid which their name suggests. Sophisticated processing gave the navigator a system which offered significant assistance in scenario analysis, with the well known ability to display graphically the effect of a trial manoeuvre being the most active element of the system.
