This could be improved

[/quote]the UAS of 2 or more sources lasted not long enough to trigger the ADR DISAGREE ECAM message (needs 10s to prevent spurious warnings).[/quote]

There is room for improvement. Time duration is ONE of the information a good DSP can use to generate reliable output.

And an spurious warning (threshold can be "digitally calibrated") is not a problem. The scan could verify easily is a "false positive".

I prefer a rare "false positive" than not being informed on UAS happening in the background. And worse: Generating DECISIONS for short duration anomalies.

What i don't agree:

A short duration anomaly be capable to reconfigure the A/C without ever telling what was happening. This sounds "opacity" capable to difficult crew operation. There are reasons for that? Let's work in the details and pilots could benefit from "state of the art" resources.
