Cooperative Analysis Bolsters Aircraft Incident Investigations

摘要

In an age when information dominance is key to mis- sion success, a unit traditionally tasked with evaluat- ing and optimizing long-range, ground-based radar is evolving into a team with a data analysis mission. Radar is a primary tool for defining what is occurring in U.S. airspace. A lone radar, however, provides a very limited view of an area based on location and specific environmental factors. A more accurate picture of an area of interest can be obtained when data from overlapping coverage of multiple radar sites is combined and analyzed.
