What does the 'Drop' command aim to do in radar systems?

The 'Drop' command in radar systems is aimed at clearing unwanted targets from the radar display. In practice, radar systems often detect multiple objects, some of which may not be of interest or may represent clutter, such as noise or false returns. The 'Drop' command allows operators to selectively remove these unwanted signals, ensuring that the radar screen shows only relevant targets that require attention. This improves the clarity of the displayed data and helps focus on mission-critical information for accurate tracking and engagement decisions. By effectively managing the targets shown, operators can enhance the overall effectiveness of the radar system in various operational scenarios.
