.
straight uniform motion
.
turn filter
.
longitudinal acceleration filter
.
unknown manoeuvre filter
3.1.11 Tracking for Three Aircraft Performance Classes.

3.1.14 ASSOCIATION between track data and CURRENT flight plan data.
3.1.15 Overall Co-ordinator between non-coherent ATC/AD centres.
3.1.16 Availability Considerations.
The TS has an excellent availability record, mainly as a result of:
.
TS operates on modern hardware (ES9221/211 and RAID5 disks).
.
Segregation of hardware across environments.
.
Minimum amount of peripheral devices.
.
Loose coupling of distributed co-operative processing elements.
.
No failures/stops induced by other (non-RDPS) software components.
.
Accelerated Restart mechanism: Recovery of Air Situation in 5 to 15 seconds.
.
Fault-tolerant configuration of TS-ONL and TS-SBY.
Summarising, the non-exhaustive list of functionality's and characteristics enumerated above yields an Air Situation Picture, with the following key properties:
