Seeking state—In the seeking state, orange cross-hairs will be shown within the acquisition gate
and flash at 2 Hz, while trying to acquire the target. After the seek period times out, the system will
return to the acquisition state and you will need to reacquire the target manually.
Joystick Buttons: Left - Cancel tracking to reacquire target
While a target is being tracked the system may lose and reacquire the target automatically. For
example, if the target you are tracking is a small boat that is temporarily obscured by a large wave,
the tracker will seek to predict where the target will be next based on its previous rate of change,
and attempt to reacquire it.
