Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Detect and track contacts using sensors
   • Detect contacts by monitoring sensor display.
   • Analyse sensor returns to recognise valid contacts.
   • Track contacts.
   • Alert shift supervisor and other sensor operators of the contact by transmitting initial contact report.
   • Monitor tracking of contacts to ensure the validity of the track.
   • Perform manual tracking of contacts in the event of loss of automatic tracking of critical contacts.
2. Recognise contact
   • Classify contacts.
   • Assign identity of contacts to enable quick reference and identification by other sensor operators.
   • Transmit supplementary contact reports.
   • Recognise information from other sources and reclassify contact designated as ambiguous as required.
