MISSION 009Blue Teampractitioner
Contested Navigation
Identify abnormal positioning behavior and execute resilient fallback procedures.
30 minindividual modevirtual
Mid-mission, the drone’s reported position stops matching its expected flight path. Is this sensor drift, an environmental effect, or something actively interfering with navigation?
You work through the available telemetry and sensor cross-checks to characterize the anomaly, then decide when to trust onboard fallback behavior versus intervening manually. The mission rewards a documented, defensible decision over a fast guess.
Contested Navigation is a foundational scenario for building the pattern-recognition skills used across ZoneOfWar’s more advanced navigation-integrity missions.
Learning outcomes
- Recognize abnormal positioning and sensor disagreement
- Apply degraded-mode navigation fallback procedures
- Document root cause for after-action review
