Which statement accurately describes buoy limitations in Link 16?

• A. Buoys update their position every 5 seconds
• B. Buoys can be tuned remotely
• C. You can't tune a Link 16 buoy; you must insert them into your own system and remove them after insertion
• D. Buoys are not compatible with Link 16

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is how a Link 16 buoy is configured and used within the system. In practice, a Link 16 buoy isn’t tunable from afar; it needs to be physically inserted into your own Link 16 system so its network parameters (and any training-specific settings) can be loaded locally. Once the session or training is done, you remove it. This approach keeps configuration tied to the specific system and session, and avoids lingering or insecure settings in the network. Other statements don’t fit because a fixed 5-second position update isn’t a defined behavior of Link 16 buoys, and saying buoys aren’t compatible with Link 16 or can be tuned remotely contradicts how these training aids are intended to be used.
