Which inputs are used for the 'Fix' step?

• A. Initial detection of potential target, JIPOE, TSS
• B. Sensor to weapon requirements
• C. Approved mission order
• D. Target engagement option

Answer: (B)

In the Fix step you’re turning sensor data into a precise target location that the weapon can actually use. The key inputs are how the sensor data maps to the weapon’s needs—sensor-to-weapon requirements—because you must confirm the sensor can provide the required accuracy, data format, update rate, and cueing to enable a valid engagement. Early-stage inputs like initial detection, JIPOE, or an approved mission order belong to discovery and planning phases and don’t directly constrain fixing the target location. The option to engage with a particular method is decided later, after the fix is established.
