Meridian Approach: nine drones arrive, and one aircraft leaves the screen

InteractiveAuto-playApplication loaded

Adding something to a screen and taking something off it are usually discussed as two different attacks. Here they happen in the same repaint, and the pairing is the whole demonstration.

Nine drone tracks appear at the edge of the sector, on nine separate bearings, each already running inbound, and over the next few seconds they converge on the threshold of the landing runway. They carry everything a supervisor uses to decide a track is real — a confidence grade, a sensor count, an altitude band, a closing vector — and none of it came from a sensor. A picture that develops in front of you is far harder to disbelieve than a picture that is simply there, and it is the most compelling thing this console can draw.

At the moment they appear, one real arrival stops being drawn and stops being listed. That half needs no effort at all: a display does not announce what it has stopped drawing. There is no track-lost state, no strikethrough, no gap — the aircraft behind it moves up a row.

Everyone in the room watches the nine, correctly, for as long as it takes. The aircraft nobody could see flies the whole approach. This is the oldest trick there is; what is new is that it costs an adversary nothing to run it on the display itself.
