The STARS Operational Site (SOS) consists of what two subsystems?

• A. Terminal Automation Subsystem (TAS) and Site Support Subsystem (SSS)
• B. Monitor and Control Subsystem (MCS) and Data Terminal Subsystem (DTS)
• C. Operational Control Subsystem (OCS) and Terminal Data Subsystem (TDS)
• D. Site Administration Subsystem (SAS) and Terminal Interface Subsystem (TIS)

Answer: (A)

The STARS Operational Site is built from two subsystems: the Terminal Automation Subsystem and the Site Support Subsystem. The Terminal Automation Subsystem provides the automated tools and interfaces that controllers use to manage terminal-area operations, handling flight data processing, radar display interfaces, and the communications links that feed data to and from the automation system. The Site Support Subsystem supplies the site-level services that keep the equipment and facility ready—power, cooling and environmental monitoring, maintenance and fault reporting, and the administrative and logistical support needed to operate the site. Together, they ensure both the automated terminal functions and the physical site infrastructure are integrated and functioning. Other subsystem pairings don’t reflect the defined structure of the STARS Operational Site.
