There can be a high volume of sensor tracks near
friendly units prior to and during battle; it would overwhelm the user to see an
alert on every change to every track. We keep a threat envelope for
each friendly unit, consisting of tracks close enough to pose a threat to
it. Tracks are placed in zero or more threat envelopes when they appear or
move. Only significant changes to the strength of the aggregate force in an
envelope or the closeness of the nearest track causes an alert.
