What mode is the DAGR in when it obtains the present position and automatically goes on "stand-by"?

The mode in which the DAGR (Defense Advanced GPS Receiver) obtains its present position and then automatically goes into "stand-by" is the FIX mode. In this mode, the system focuses on acquiring a stable and accurate GPS position fix. Once it has successfully obtained this position, the DAGR transitions to a stand-by state to conserve power and resources until it is needed for further operations or tracking. This operational process is crucial for maintaining an efficient and precise battle management system, allowing operators to quickly access location data while minimizing power consumption during periods of inactivity.

Understanding this function is valuable for operators using the DAGR, as it emphasizes the importance of the FIX mode in ensuring readiness and efficiency in GPS positioning tasks essential for air defense operations.
