Which of the following is a mounted disadvantage?

• A. Higher Probability of False / Negative reads
• B. Time is limited, provides additional protection
• C. Enhanced Optics
• D. Mobility in open terrain

Answer: (A)

When you work mounted, mobility and protection come first, but you trade some observation fidelity. The sensor setup is fixed to the vehicle and subject to movement, vibration, and limited viewing angles. This makes it harder to track targets precisely, verify signatures, and take multiple, careful readings, increasing the chance of missing something or misreading what you see—i.e., a higher probability of false or negative readings. The other statements describe benefits of mounting—protective cover, faster maneuvering, and enhanced optics—so they aren’t the disadvantages.
