Understanding ARPA Systems

What are the principal types of ARPA systems?

• DARPA satellites

• ARPAnet, DARPA projects, ARPA-like networks

• ARPA research centers

• ARPAnet II

Describe the function of a Class A ARPA system.

• The function of a Class A ARPA system is to ensure reliable and efficient data communication.

• To facilitate online gaming experiences.

• To provide real-time video streaming capabilities.

• To manage hardware resources in a computer system.

What is a Class B ARPA system used for?

• Displaying weather patterns for meteorological analysis.

• Tracking and displaying vessel movements in maritime navigation.

• Tracking vehicle movements on highways.

• Monitoring air traffic in aviation systems.

List one advantage of using ARPA in navigation.

• Limited communication with other vessels.

• Increased fuel consumption during navigation.

• Improved situational awareness in navigation.

• Reduced accuracy in positioning systems.

What are the key display characteristics of ARPA systems?

• Key display characteristics of ARPA systems include high-resolution displays, real-time data visualization, interactive interfaces, and data overlay capabilities.

• Static data presentation

• Low-resolution displays

• Limited user interaction

How does ARPA display target information?

• ARPA relies solely on manual input for target information.

• ARPA uses only audio cues to convey target information.

• ARPA displays target information using visual signals only.

• ARPA displays target information using radar data and sensor inputs.

What limitations are associated with ARPA displays?

• No need for user training or support

• Low cost and easy installation

• Unlimited resolution capabilities

• Limitations include limited resolution, high cost, complexity, and user training requirements.

Explain the significance of target tracking in ARPA.

• Target tracking is only used for military applications.

• Target tracking has no impact on navigation efficiency.

• Target tracking in ARPA is primarily for weather forecasting.

• Target tracking in ARPA is significant for enhancing maritime safety and navigation by monitoring vessel movements and predicting potential collisions.

What is the maximum number of targets an ARPA can track?

• Up to 200 targets

• Up to 50 targets

• Up to 100 targets

• Up to 10 targets

Discuss the performance standards set for ARPA systems.

• Data encryption and security protocols

• User interface design and aesthetics

• Performance standards for ARPA systems include reliability, availability, maintainability, scalability, response time, throughput, and resource utilization.

• Cost efficiency and budget management
