The only problem with the TLP system is that is does not transmit anything from the pods, it simply records all the flight parameters of the jet carrying it. After landing, the pods are all loaded into the computer and the replay can take place. Any non-trackers or aircraft that cannot carry the pod (mainly the French!) can be placed on the magnetic display board at the critical moments.

The main disadvantage of this system is that there is NO possibility of Real Time Kill Notification or Removal. Each engagement has to be assessed by the pilot during the playback as the active missile firers frequently do not have their target on their radar screens at the moment of impact.

In addition, each nation uses different criteria when assessing the performance of their individual systems. Thus RTKN is not possible.
