Which MSSR component consolidates replies from all reachable aircraft into a single digitized report?

Which MSSR component consolidates replies from all reachable aircraft into a single digitized report?

• A. Control and Monitoring System
• B. Transmitter Interface
• C. Plot Processor
• D. Receiver Interface

Answer: (C)

The Plot Processor is the component that combines all replies from reachable aircraft into one digitized surveillance output. It takes the raw data coming from the receivers, fuses each target’s information, and produces a single digital plot or report that represents the current airspace picture. The Transmitter Interface handles sending interrogations, the Receiver Interface collects the replies, and the Control and Monitoring System tracks health and status; none of these fuse and digitize the data to a single consolidated report like the Plot Processor does.
