scheduled to be completed by June 2017 which should not impact TAM R
deployment at this facility. The TAMR ELITE Initial Si te Survey occurred
the week of May 9.
o Pensacola, FL (P31) - An ongoing issue with primary only false targets
when opening in fusion. Several attempts have been made on the ASR -
11 systems feeding P31 to fix this issue as well as changes to
STARS adaptation . While there have been improvements, there have
been numerous days where the clutter has been unmanageable. Several
tel co n s have occurred with various groups to push progress towards a
better presentation. After two parts are installed in the PNS rada r to fix a
weather problem, AJW - 147 and TSOG will re - optimize the PNS radar,
already having several parameters mapped out for changes to improve
the performance.
o Potomac TRACON (PCT) - Several issues with false targets had been
identified by TSLE and passe d along for evaluation. The MRB radar was
providing some lengthy beaco n false tracks intermittently. After further
investigation , it was discovered that MRB was configured incorrectly. The
correct PRF was installed and the intermittent false tracks have vanished.
Additionally, the DCA radar was also providing a number of reflec tions in
close to the airport. These were caus ing "zoomers" on the displays.
Between an adaptation change at the radar as well as the installation of
the new STARS R3C Drop 7s s oftware, initial analysis by OSF and TSLE
appears that t he zoomers have been rectified.
