How does a precise participate location information (PPLI) track appear on the BSD?

A precise participation location information (PPLI) track is represented on the Battle Space Display (BSD) using a green symbol. This signaling convention indicates that the track data is confirmed and reliable, which is crucial for effective air defense operations.

The use of a green symbol helps operators quickly identify friendly forces or assets that have been properly authenticated and are actively participating in the operation. This visual differentiation enhances situational awareness, allowing commanders and personnel to make timely and informed decisions regarding engage or deconfliction of assets in the area.

The choice of colors on the BSD is deliberate, where each color conveys specific information about the status or type of track being displayed. The understanding of these color codes is essential for personnel, as it directly impacts operational effectiveness and safety in a dynamic air defense environment.
