Abstract: A method and apparatus for evaluating whether one or more threat sources is actively tracking an object, such as an aircraft. A tracking system may analyze information regarding signals received from a source and provide a track indication that the source is actively tracking the object without adjusting the dwell arrangement of the scan strategy of the receiver. A track indication may be provided where a sample count of signal intercepts from the source is greater than a track count during a window. A break track indication representing that the source is not actively tracking the object may be provided when a number of signal intercepts from the source is less than a break track count during a window.
