Basic Division Officer Course (BDOC) Maritime Warfare (MW) Practice Test

In the Surface Warfare kill chain, what is the second step?

Find Fix Track Target

Correct Answer:

Fix

Explanation:

Fix is the step that follows Find. After a contact is found, you must determine its exact position in your reference frame—establish a precise location (range, bearing, and motion information) so the contact is fixed in place on the sensor data. This reduces uncertainty and provides a stable reference from which you can start tracking its movement. With a solid fix, you can continuously update the contact’s position as it maneuvers, enabling accurate tracking and, later, targeting decisions. Without fixing, tracking would be unreliable because you wouldn’t have a precise, stable location to base updates on.
