During tracking practice, what types of targets are used to evaluate the Avenger team?

The evaluation of the Avenger team during tracking practice involves the use of both aerial targets and ground targets. Aerial targets are crucial for assessing the team’s ability to engage airborne threats, which is a primary function of the Avenger system. Ground targets test the team's proficiency in identifying, tracking, and potentially engaging land-based threats. This combination ensures that gunners are well-prepared to engage in a variety of combat scenarios.

The other options either focus too narrowly on certain aspects or include targets that are not typically used in this kind of training. For example, missile systems may not necessarily provide a comprehensive evaluation compared to live aerial and ground targets. Ground and stationary targets might limit the assessment regarding mobile threats, while mobile and vehicle targets do not encompass the important aerial threat assessment that the Avenger team must be prepared for. Thus, the combination of aerial and ground targets provides a well-rounded evaluation of the team's skills in tracking and engagement.
