Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) functions are use for target tracking and risk analysis. MARPA improves your standards of collision avoidance by obtaining detailed information for up to 10 targets, and provides continuous and rapid situation evaluation.

MARPA tracks the selected targets and calculates target bearing, range, true speed, course, Closest Point of Approach (CPA), and Time to Closest Point of Approach (TCPA). Each tracked target can be displayed with a CPA graphic depicting the approximate target speed (vector length) and course (vector direction). The calculated target data can also be shown on the screen. Each target is continually assessed and an audible alarm is sounded if a target becomes dangerous or is lost.
