Which of the following is a common indicator that the THAAD launcher is not ready for launch?

THAAD launcher readiness depends on continuous, secure data-link communication with the fire-control system and sensors. When the data-link is lost, the launcher cannot receive real-time targeting data, intercept solutions, or safety clearances, so it cannot be considered ready to launch. Without that connectivity, essential firing checks can’t be completed and the system would hold fire. In contrast, optimal alignment, full operational readiness, and favorable weather are signs that conditions are conducive to a launch rather than indicators of not being ready.
