l. Having data processing sub-systems and having any of the following: 1. 'Automatic target tracking' providing, at any antenna rotation, the predicted target position beyond the time of the next antenna beam passage; or 2. Not used since 2010 3. Not used since 2010 4. Configured to provide superposition and correlation, or fusion, of target data within six seconds from two or more 'geographically dispersed' radar sensors to improve the aggregate performance beyond that of any single sensor specified in 6.A.8.f. or 6.A.8.i. 1.
