How many search objects can be selected in a drift simulation?

• A. Two
• B. Three
• C. Four
• D. Five

Answer: (C)

Four search objects can be selected in a drift simulation. This setup lets you model multiple targets drifting under wind or current, so you can see how different paths and search patterns interact with moving targets. Having four objects provides enough complexity to practice coordination, evaluate coverage, and estimate detection chances across several simultaneous drifts without overloading the simulation. Choosing fewer targets would make the practice less realistic because you’re not testing multi-target coordination, while trying to use more targets—five or more—would exceed what the simulation can reliably handle. So four is the best fit because it matches the system’s limits and training goals for drift scenarios.
