The ICC computes a range denied targets range using track and strobe data from 3 or more FPs. This process is known as?

• A. Triangulation
• B. Interpolation
• C. Radial Scanning
• D. Tri-service Fusion

Answer: (A)

Triangulation uses multiple known observation points to locate a target. In this scenario, the ICC gathers track and strobe data from three or more firing positions, each providing a line of sight toward the target. By projecting these lines of bearing from several distinct points, the target’s position—and thus its range—can be determined where the lines intersect. Using three or more vantage points helps reduce error and yields a more accurate range estimate than any single observation.

Interpolation would only estimate a value between known data points, not solve the geometry of where the target lies. Radial scanning implies sweeping around a single point rather than combining multiple views. Tri-service fusion refers to combining data from different military services, not the geometric method used to deduce range from multiple observers.
