Trial Maneuver engagement indicates what on the ARPA display?

Trial Maneuver engagement on ARPA is about simulating how your own ship’s maneuver would affect the situation. When this mode is active, the display marks the scenario with a distinct, special notation so you can clearly see that what you’re viewing is a predicted outcome, not current target data. Behind the scenes, the system runs MoBoard calculations to generate the projected track as if you carried out the maneuver. This lets you compare the potential change in course or speed with the current tracks to assess risk and plan actions. It’s not simply a routine range update or a recalibration of signals—the key is the visible notation plus the MoBoard-based prediction that shows how the maneuver would play out.
