Radar PPI with heavy sea clutter, rain clutter, and radar interference masking targets. With Atlas ITP all clutter and radar interferences are suppressed - weak, distant targets are stretched. With the ITP, Atlas introduces significant im- provements to the radar presentation. Through ap- plication of the latest digital signal processing tech- niques, radar targets are refined, separated from clutter and unwanted disturbances and displayed with full contrast and brightness. Atlas ITP stands for Improved Target Presenta- tion. ITP goes to work on four problems which degrade or mask the radar target presentation. • Precipitation - rain, snow, hail, commonly termed as 'rain clutter'—is suppressed • Sea clutter - unwanted wave returns are consid- erably reduced • Radar interference - spiral disturbances caused by other radars are suppressed • Noise - Receiver noise speckles are removed, all targets appear with high contrast against a dark background In addition to the removal of the undesirable dis- turbances, the Atlas ITP enhances the target presentation through: • TARGET BRIGHTENING - even weak targets will be displayed with full brightness • ECHO STRETCHING - on the long ranges (12, 24, 48 and 72 miles) all targets can be stretched to allow easier observation on the radar scope. The Atlas ITP presents clear, high contrast, dis- turbance free target information to the radar opera- tor. ITP cuts down on PPI adjustment time and en- sures that all targets are presented to the radar's fullest capability. The ITP feature is available for all new generation X and S-Band Atlas radars (9", 12", 16" indicators). ITP assists the operator in utilizing his radar to the fullest for safe navigation and collision avoid- ance, whether it is a work boat, fishing vessel, tanker or bulk carrier.
