Which term describes sensors positioned so there are no seams in the defense?

• A. Balanced Fires
• B. Overlapping Coverage
• C. Kill Chain
• D. Keep-Out Range

Answer: (B)

Overlapping coverage means arranging sensors so their detection areas intersect and cover the seams between sensors or sectors. This creates a continuous surveillance belt, ensuring there are no gaps a target could slip through and providing redundancy if one sensor is degraded. That continuous, seam-free coverage is exactly what overlapping coverage aims to achieve. Balanced fires focuses on distributing firepower across sectors, not on sensor continuity. The kill chain describes the steps from detecting a target to engaging it, which is about processes, not coverage layout. Keep-out range denotes a distance you avoid operating within for safety or strategic reasons, not about ensuring seamless sensor coverage.
