In the same direction moving (Target Faster) mode, which formula computes the Target Speed?

TS = PS - (CS)
TS = PS + (SS)
TS = PS + (CS)
TS = SS + (PS)

The correct answer is: TS = PS + (CS)

The formula that computes the Target Speed in the moving in the same direction (Target Faster) mode is TS = PS + (CS). In this context, TS represents Target Speed, PS is the Patrol Speed, and CS is the Closing Speed. This formula is based on the principle that when both the patrol vehicle and the target vehicle are moving in the same direction, the speed of the target vehicle is influenced by how fast the patrol vehicle is traveling plus the speed at which the two vehicles are closing in on each other. The Closing Speed accounts for the relative speed difference between the patrol and target vehicle. It is added to the Patrol Speed because the target is moving in the same direction as the patrol, making it essential to incorporate both speeds to arrive at the correct calculation for the target's speed. Understanding this relationship is crucial for accurately determining how fast a target is moving in scenarios where their directions align.
