Abstract

A collision avoidance system for sea navigation comprises, for each equipped ship, a transmitter that repeatedly transmits the geographic coordinates, course and speed of its own ship and a receiver that sends a display device similar data received from other ships. These received data are displayed, mostly in the form of symbols, on the panoramic screen of the display device.
