This is a view of the Tactical Situation Display a little later in the mission when the pilot was considering an attack
on a hostile aircraft. The close-up view shows the target area in detail. The system is also displaying the (unclassified)
representation of the signature of his aircraft - the region in which the nearest enemy detection system would be able to
detect his aircraft. The function of the Mission Planner was to generate routes that used this footprint to minimize the aircraft exposure
to detection. The pilot has "pulled down" the sub-menu of options available to him, and selected the Enemy Order of Battle (EOB)
- the display of the enemy SAM sites normally shown on the defensive situation display.
