In an engagement sequence, what does 'On-Board Home on Jam' imply?

• A. The missile changes target to the closest threat
• B. The missile self-destructs when jammed
• C. On-Board Home on Jam
• D. It switches to passive mode

Answer: (C)

In an engagement, jamming can degrade or block the ground-based guidance data the missile relies on. “On-Board Home on Jam” means the missile switches to an autonomous, onboard guidance mode so it can keep pursuing the target using its own internal navigation and seeker data, without depending on the jammed external signals. The term “home” here indicates continuing toward the target with the guidance reference stored and computed inside the missile, allowing it to complete the intercept despite the jam. This isn’t about switching targets, self-destructing, or going to passive sensing—those would represent different behaviors.
