Helo processing when under ship's control

However, if there is a buoy field present, especially a robust buoy field with the contact showing up on more than one buoy and allowing for triangulation, the AI platforms do an EXCELLENT job of detecting, tracking, and resolving contacts and placing them on the link if there are AI platforms around that are capable of processing buoy data and they are in range.

This is especially helpful when you are in the P-3 and lay 50+ buoys.

I think this is only true of DICASS. I can't say I've ever seen AI promote a link from passive buoys. Weirder yet, most of the times AI promotes a DICASS contact, it is right after I switch the mode of the buoy to 'active.'
