Buffalo Computer Graphics' maritime simulation staff has extensive experience in the design and development of marine radar and communication simulators. Many of our staff members have been dedicated to the development of our simulation products for over twenty-five years. Our line of radar simulators is IMO / STCW compliant and can be adapted to meet HLA or DIS requirements. All models are capable of generating the target, landmass and radar effects video required to create realistic radar images from computer generated data. As a result, training exercises carried out using a BCG simulator appear real to observers monitoring the radar displays. Should you desire to speak to one of our technical or subject matter experts, please contact us at (716) 822-8668. We would be happy to discuss your needs. |

| The PCRadar ARPA Radar Display Emulator is a new tool added to the Buffalo Computer Graphics’ (BCG) family of successful PC based radar simulators. PCRadar is a Windows-based application which emulates a generic ARPA radar display on a PC monitor. It is a powerful training tool used to familiarize a student with the use of radar for ship navigation. The radar image incorporates realistic simulation of landmass, moving targets, precipitation, sea clutter and other video effects seen on a real radar; while the radar operational features include radar video controls, dual EBL and VRM, multiple presentation modes, graphics capabilities and range scaling. For ARPA support, PCRadar provides target acquisition and tracking, leading vectors and history trails, trial maneuvers and navigation points. Target track data is also output via the serial port or through a network connection using NMEA-0183 format. This allows for integration with an ECS or ECDIS system.

The PCRadar user interface models the SPS-73 Radar Display, and was designed specifically for use by the US Navy and US Coast Guard in shipboard and shore based training applications. PCRadar was developed using BCG’s industry standard radar simulation engine, is compatible with BCG's enhanced Graphical User Interface (GUI) and may be used in conjunction with our PCS-100/200 radar simulators. PCRadar is available in a software only package ready for installation on a customer’s PC, or BCG also offers “turn key” systems packaged in multiple configurations including a shock mounted chassis for shipboard use, or a desktop / laptop PC for classroom use. BCG has added an AIS capability as an option to PCRadar. Another new feature is a Virtual Ownship Steering Control allowing a student to navigate his/her Ownship with controls located on the same screen as the radar presentation. Contact BCG for information on both options.
