Which statement best describes the content of the polar call's second transmission?

• A. Direction 5830, Distance 3200, Up 100, Over.
• B. Direction 5830, Distance 3200, Up 50, Over.
• C. Direction 5800, Distance 3200, Up 100, Over.
• D. Direction 5830, Distance 3200, Down 100, Over.

Answer: (A)

In a polar call, two transmissions convey target location. The first gives direction and distance to the target, and the second provides the target’s height relative to the observer, indicated as Up or Down with a distance in meters. The best choice shows the same direction and distance as the first part (5830 and 3200) and adds the elevation information correctly as Up 100, meaning the target sits 100 meters above the observer’s line of sight. This aligns with how ballistic solutions account for target height. The other options either change the azimuth (5800), change the height direction (Down), or use an incorrect height value (50), which would lead to an inaccurate fire data transmission.
