Prior Firefinders used a survey team to find site latitude, longitude, and direction to North. With MAPS, reaction time was limited only by the time taken to set up the site, since system geo-position was pre-loaded before sortie deployment.
In the past, Firefinders relied on a survey team to determine the location of sites using latitude, longitude, and direction to North. With MAPS, reaction time was restricted only by the setup time for the site, since the system's geographic position had already been pre-loaded before deployment.
