Triangulation supports track evaluation, ______, and missile guidance.

• A. Targeting
• B. Fusion
• C. Engagement
• D. Navigation

Answer: (C)

Triangulation uses geometry from multiple sensor perspectives to pin down a target’s exact position and its motion. By combining bearing or line-of-sight data from more than one radar view, the system cross-checks and refines the target fix, which makes the track more reliable. That improved track information is then used to evaluate how trustworthy the tracking data is (track evaluation) and to plan an intercept. With a precise target fix in hand, guidance commands can be generated to steer the missile toward the predicted intercept point, enabling effective engagement. So triangulation naturally ties together reliable track, the decision to engage, and the actual missile guidance.
