Which describes Demand cueing?

• A. Activation of WLRs before the enemy is known to be firing.
• B. Activation of WLRs once the enemy is known to have begun firing.
• C. Activation of WLRs based on weather conditions.
• D. Activation of WLRs only during nighttime operations.

Answer: (B)

Demand cueing means turning on a sensor or weapon in direct response to a real demand or threat signal, rather than automatically or for non-threat reasons. In this case, activating the WLRs after it’s known the enemy has begun firing is a demand-driven response: the engagement has been established, so the system is cued to support that specific threat. This approach conserves resources and reduces false alarms because activation only occurs when there is an actual need. Activating before any firing would be proactive rather than on demand, and basing activation on weather conditions or nighttime alone doesn’t reflect a threat-driven cue.
