reported TWS AUTO does not optimize scan pattern

[Harker]

Open beta 2.7.8.16140

Currently, TWS AUTO simply centers the TWS scan around the L&S in azimuth and elevation.

What TWS AUTO should be:

1. It should maintain as many trackfiles as possible, by automatically adjusting the azimuth and elevation.
2. The elevation can also become 3B or 5B (only controlled by AUTO), but the radar page will show 4B and 6B respectively (the radar set does 3B, but reports 4B to the digital data computer, for example).
3. The scan pattern will be automatically biased to maintain the L&S, DT2 and trackfiles under AMRAAM attack.
4. After the above, the scan pattern will be automatically adjusted to maintain trackfiles, based on rank (e.g., it will not bias towards rank 8, if that means it will lose rank 1).
5. BIAS mode will bias the scan center towards the area the TDC was depressed on, but keeping all trackfiles from 3. within the scan. All trackfiles except those mentioned in 3. can be taken out of the scan, by pilot-commanded BIAS.
6. RSET should remove the BIAS status and return to AUTO, not revert back to MAN.

 

Relevant information can be found in the 742-100, page 106 (011 02, page 6, points 45,46), page 126 (011 03, page 8, point 63), page 500 (043 00, page 9).

Relevant info will be PM'd shortly.

I have reported to the team for checking

thanks

Currently TWS AUTO centers the scan to L&S target. In reality it should center on the centroid of the established track files.

I can provide evidence via PM if needed.

Nice substantial report! Unfortunately the AUTO mechanics are not trivial and therefore I expect ED to take their time to model it properly
