How many missing radar sweeps until a target is considered lost?


Recommended Posts

How many sweeps does the radar make over the area where the target was supposed to be until the target becomes X'd out in TWS modes? Or, more simply, how long does radar contact need to be lost with a target before the AWG-9 considered it lost?

A track is marked as lost when it hasn't received an update for 8 seconds, so 5 scan patterns. Then it's extrapolated for an additional 14 seconds or 2 minutes if Track Hold is active.
