What does the flashing indicator on the remote radar set control (RRSC) signify?

The flashing indicator on the remote radar set control (RRSC) signifies a "WAIT" condition for the antenna to stop rotating. This is an essential function of the radar system, as it ensures that the device does not begin processing data or attempting to engage targets while the antenna is still in motion. By indicating this state, the system prevents potential errors in tracking and engagement that could arise from gathering data with an unstable or moving platform.

In operational scenarios, ensuring the antenna is stationary before proceeding with radar functions is critical for accurate targeting and data collection. The indication serves as a safeguard, allowing operators to maintain performance and reliability in radar operations.
