AI classification and counter-detection

This may not be a satisfying answer, but the solution to the problem is to set it up so that avoiding detection is possible.

You are mistaken.

Primary detection has taken place in 18:29
18:29:26 [3556] NSE: Improved LA SSN detected by Pondicherry MSO with Active Sonar at rng 3230

Classification as HOSTILE taken place in 18:34
18:34:14 [3556] NSE: Improved LA SSN ID'd Hostile by Pondicherry MSO

Only in 5 minutes ( 18:34 )- (after MSO came nearer to SUB) - there was a classification.

AI of a platform - the unknown contacts can have.

At tactics of movement TRANSIT - this contact remain unknown - because MSO will not do attempts to come nearer to SUB.

If you wish, I can show LOG also for passive sonars - when the contact remain unknown.
