PCBME Radar Display Emulator

PCBME is a Windows-based application which emulates a Sperry Bridgemaster-E Radar* display on a PC monitor. It is a powerful training tool used to familiarize a student with the use of a real ARPA radar for ship navigation. The radar image incorporates realistic simulation of landmass, moving targets, precipitation returns, sea clutter and other effects seen on a real radar. The radar operational features include full ARPA functionality, radar video controls, dual EBL & VRM, multiple presentation modes, graphics capabilities and range scaling. For ARPA support, PCBME provides target acquisition & tracking, leading vectors & history trails, and trial maneuvers. Target track data output via a serial port or network connection in NMEA-0183 format is supported for integration with an ECS or ECDIS system. BCG has added a Virtual Ownship Steering Control option to PCBME, allowing a student to navigate his/her Ownship with controls located on the same screen as the radar presentation. Contact BCG for information. 

* BridgeMaster-E Radar is trademarked to Northrop Grumman Sperry Marine
