Which is the automatic target acquisition capacity?

• A. 20
• B. 5
• C. 8
• D. 12

Answer: (A)

Automatic target acquisition capacity is the maximum number of targets the system can acquire and track automatically at the same time without manual intervention. It reflects how many distinct objects the sensors and processor can handle in real time, given hardware and software limits.

Twenty targets means the system can simultaneously lock onto and monitor twenty different objects, which expands situational awareness in busy or cluttered environments and reduces the operator’s workload. The other numbers represent lower capacities, which would limit how many targets can be tracked at once and could miss or neglect some in a dense scene. So twenty is the best choice because it indicates a higher, more capable level of automatic tracking.
