The term "infrared surveillance and tracking system" can cover a
lot of ground. For instance, a MAWS falls under that description.
IRST isn't the only thing that used IR.

This is what has me confused by his terminology. I wasn't sure if, by
using the phrase "infrared surveillance and tracking system", he meant
to say "infrared search and tracking system".

I kind of wonder if this is a specific misinterpretation that the
author was hoping for.
