The system can't freeze as such. There is duplication and built in redundancy. If a workstation fails, move to another, there are seven in Melbourne tower but only four operational positions, plus a shift manager. If the Electronic Surveillance fails, there is a standby display with limited data and functionality. If subsystems fail there are degraded modes. If the strip display fails, plans are cached and there is a paper strip printer available.
