True or False: ATl:CDR and FM:CDR messages are generated by either the acquisition of an enemy volley or a friendly unit response?

• A. Cannot be determined
• B. Sometimes
• C. False
• D. True

Answer: (C)

These messages are produced by the tracking/command-and-control data system to convey current track status and related command information. Acquisition of a target is one way a track can begin, but the system also generates these messages for updates to an existing track, changes in sensor data, track confirmation or loss, handoffs between sensors or units, and periodic status reporting. Because generation isn’t limited to just when an enemy volley is acquired or a friendly unit responds, the statement is false.
