The theater-wide common operational picture is produced from data provided by which teams?

• A. AST/SSO/MSO.
• B. SOT only.
• C. EPT only.
• D. MSO and SOT.

Answer: (A)

The theater-wide common operational picture is built from multiple data streams that each provide a critical piece of the overall view. The three teams that feed the full COP are the Air Surveillance Team (AST), the Sector Surveillance Organization (SSO), and the Master Surveillance Operator (MSO). AST supplies real-time air surveillance data from sensors, SSO coordinates and reports surveillance across sectors, and MSO integrates all these feeds and maintains the COP display. Relying on only one team (like SOT or EPT) would miss essential data streams, and combining only MSO with another single team still omits the AST data. Therefore, the best answer reflects data from AST, SSO, and MSO.
