What are the elevation limits?

• A. -25 + 80
• B. -25 to +80 degrees
• C. -20 to +60 degrees
• D. -30 to +60 degrees

Answer: (B)

Elevation limits tell you how far a sensor or antenna can tilt up or down from the horizon. Elevation is measured in degrees: 0 degrees is straight ahead at the horizon, positive values point upward toward the sky, and negative values point downward below the horizon. The allowed range is from -25 degrees to +80 degrees, meaning you can tilt a bit below the horizon to observe low-ground targets and tilt up toward the sky up to 80 degrees, near but not at directly overhead. This range balances practical field of view with mechanical and cabling constraints, keeping the mechanism safe and reliable. The other options either don’t express a full range, or specify narrower or differently bounded limits that don’t match the intended operational envelope.
