    • D.

      Accuracy is directly related to amount of terrain visible to the observer.

    Correct Answer
    D. Accuracy is directly related to amount of terrain visible to the observer.
    Explanation
    The greatest limitation in using the 100 meter method of range determination is that accuracy is directly related to the amount of terrain visible to the observer. This means that if the observer has a limited view of the terrain, it will be more difficult to accurately determine the range using this method.

    How does the observer use off center vision when viewing an object during limited visibility?

    • A.

      Look 5 degrees above, below, or to either side rather than directly at it.

    • B.

      Look 10 degrees above, below, or to either side of it rather than directly at it.

    • C.

      Look 15 degrees above, below, rather than directly at it.

    • D.

      Look 20 degrees to either side only rather than directly at it.

    Correct Answer
    B. Look 10 degrees above, below, or to either side of it rather than directly at it.
    Explanation
    When viewing an object during limited visibility, the observer uses off center vision by looking 10 degrees above, below, or to either side of the object rather than directly at it. This allows the observer to maximize their peripheral vision and detect any potential hazards or objects that may not be visible when looking directly at the object. By looking slightly off center, the observer can increase their field of view and improve their overall situational awareness.

    • B.

      Dense fog.

    • C.

      Rainy weather.

    • D.

      Bright sunlight

    Correct Answer
    B. Dense fog.
    Explanation
    The Eltec 864M1E long-range passive infrared sensors are designed to detect motion using infrared technology. However, dense fog can interfere with the sensors' ability to accurately detect motion. Fog consists of tiny water droplets suspended in the air, which can scatter and absorb infrared radiation. This scattering and absorption can cause the sensors to have difficulty distinguishing between actual motion and the scattered infrared signals. Therefore, the detection capability of the sensors can be degraded in dense fog conditions.
