Mission
Signal Anchor
Navigation and communications cases where an accepted fix, or a terminal that is still associated, is not a mission that is still sound.
The fix can look valid. The link can look up.
Demonstration scenarios
False Fix and Fading Link are demonstration scenarios. They are not yet live demos.
Operational challenge
A receiver can keep a fix that independent evidence does not support. A terminal can stay registered while the traffic the mission needs has already missed its class of service. Treating either sign as health sends the repair to the wrong team.
What V8Y is being tested on
V8Y must decide whether a convincing fix is safe to keep using, and whether a live association is actually carrying the mission’s traffic.
Threads
False Fix
DEMONSTRATION SCENARIO
Navigation consumers can act on a fix the receiver itself has not rejected.
Navigation still looks acceptable. Trust in the position may not.

DEMONSTRATION SCENARIO
Command and reconnaissance tempo slip while the terminal still looks registered.
The terminal stays associated. Heavier mission traffic fails first.
View thread: Fading Link
Mission proof
A fix flag or a modem-up bit is not recovery. The position in use has to agree with an independent source, or the mission’s own class of traffic has to meet its requirement.
Applicability
Navigation-integrity authorities, contested-communications cells, and operators who act on position or on a live link.
