Function:

This behavior works in concert with pLamssBearingTracker to execute a maneuver which allows the processing chain to break the left-right ambiguity of a linear towed array. Once the processing chain reports a new detection, the maneuver will initiate a turn at constant heading rate maintained until the processing chain declares the ambiguity to be broken. Originally developed and tested during the ONR PLUSNet program by Don Eickstedt, this behavior is now a standard component of a passive acoustic DCLT mission.
