Radar will give a precise enough plot for a SAR effort, in any case, the plot can be made less precise for security concerns.<br /><br />Anyway, is this Terence Fan, the university professor?<br /><br />Quote<br /><br />Singapore-based Aviation expert Terence Fan said military radar from various countries may have detected the plane but governments were reluctant to share the data because it would reveal their capabilities and compromise security.<br /><br />“There may be some military sensitivity because the radar is not continuous, it sort of sweeps around a couple of times,” Fan said.<br /><br />“The rate at which they can take the picture can also reveal how good the radar system is and that I think is probably why the countries around here are not very fond of sharing the information.”hmmwvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480656360644321620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348464617577736454.post-84611449324265402762014-03-12T07:32:05.510+08:002014-03-12T07:32:05.510+08:00IF, indeed the story is true, then it will be incr...IF, indeed the story is true, then it will be incredible that an 'unknown' (transponders not working) aircraft at high altitude on an uncommon flight path can enter and overfly Thailand/Malaysia without being challenged.<br />If the military of either country had already ascertained the plane was commercial, then it is weird that this information was not shared with the ATC, especially for an aircraft that has its transponders off.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670446359757917945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348464617577736454.post-59866605855464327382014-03-12T03:46:30.571+08:002014-03-12T03:46:30.571+08:00I saw an official statement from PTU on the report...I saw an official statement from PTU on the report by Berita Harian.
