However, I'm sure a more experienced OHP commander could fill in here. :hmm:

RE: EMCON vs. radiating,I was hoping that the depth (no pun intended) of the radar and detection model compared to that of the sonar model... but apparently that isn't the case. Oh well. Although I do like how radar contacts are initially fairly nebulous, you know it's an aircraft because it's moving 350 kts but is it hostile? COMAIR? Hostile posing as a COMAIR? Makes threat evaluation kinda interesting.
