What are the three stages of D3I in target acquisition?

• A. Detection, Recognition, Identification
• B. Recognition, Detection, Identification
• C. Detection, Identification, Recognition
• D. Identification, Detection, Recognition

Answer: (A)

D3I tracks the progression from noticing something to knowing exactly what it is. Detection means you’ve noticed that something is present. Recognition means you’ve determined it’s a target of interest and roughly classified its type. Identification means you’ve confirmed the exact identity or specific target. The only sequence that matches this logical flow is Detection first, then Recognition, then Identification, because you can’t recognize a target without first detecting it, and you can’t identify it without having recognized it. Other orders imply identifying or recognizing before you’ve even detected the object, which isn’t feasible.
