What information is contained in a Target Track Entry within the CRC?

• A. Target identity, position, altitude, and flight plan.
• B. Target identity, position, velocity, altitude, track quality, sensor sources, IFF status, and tracking history.
• C. Target identity, velocity, and weather data.
• D. Target identity, position, velocity, altitude, and radar cross-section.

Answer: (B)

A Target Track Entry is the continuously updated snapshot that the CRC uses to know where a target is and how it’s behaving, integrating multiple sensors into a single, coherent record. It includes the target’s identity, its precise position, its velocity, and its altitude, so operators can understand where the target is now and how it’s moving. It also carries track quality to convey confidence in the current track, the sensor sources that contributed to the track to show which sensors agree or disagreed, the IFF status to identify friend/foe/unknown, and a history of the track to reveal past positions and maneuvers. This combination keeps a consistent, verifiable picture of the target over time, even as updates arrive from different sensors. Data like weather or radar cross-section isn’t part of this standard track entry in the CRC, as those details are typically handled separately or outside the core track record.
