A bright display radar system having anticollision capabilities in which received signals are digitized at a rate determined by a radar range setting and displayed at a constant relatively slow rate independent of the range setting. A computer based anticollision unit operates in response to the relatively slow digitized received signals so that targets may be tracked equally well at short and long ranges. Two sets of operator actuable switches are provided for controlling the anticollision unit. A first set of switches is provided which correspond directly to the most commonly used computer operating functions. The second includes an alphanumeric keyboard which may be used to actuate subroutines stored in a physically separate read-only memory which operates only in response to the alphanumeric keyboard.
