What does the Track Sort and Select (TSS) filter do?

• A. It sorts tracks by speed only.
• B. It is a filter that helps identify important data such as PPLI, tracks, points/lines/areas, emergency points, EW, and ASW reports and helps decipher thousands of tracks.
• C. It filters out all PPLI data.
• D. It only displays statistics.

Answer: (B)

Track Sort and Select is about cutting through a flood of track data to show what really matters. In a Link 16 environment, thousands of tracks can be active, so this filter helps you identify and prioritize key data elements rather than just listing everything. It pulls together important data types and reports—PPLI (the platform identity/position data), the tracks themselves, and geometric items like points, lines, and areas, plus special indicators such as emergency points and EW (electronic warfare) and ASW (anti-submarine warfare) reports. By highlighting these elements, it makes it possible to quickly discern meaningful information and manage complex, high-volume data without being overwhelmed. So this isn’t just sorting by speed, and it isn’t about filtering out PPLI or displaying only statistics. It’s about filtering and sorting to surface the important data and reports that give you situational awareness across thousands of tracks.
