Please attempt to determine a Lat /Long for the contact at initial detection. We recommend 
using JMPS to reference the sensor-derived bearing and range relative tn the bullseye you had 
in use. If that method is not available, any reasonable derivation of location will work, but please 
be as specific as possible and make a note in the comments section. These locations may be 
used to cue other means of tracking.
