Which statement is included in the mission statement of Aircraft Counter Measures?

• A. Maximize flight speed
• B. Do not allow aircraft to be used as steerable weapon of mass destruction
• C. Encourage passenger disputes
• D. Increase ticket prices

Answer: (B)

A mission statement states the core purpose and commitments an organization makes to guide its actions. For Aircraft Counter Measures, the focus is on preventing aircraft from being used as weapons of mass destruction, which directly expresses a safety and security mandate. That phrasing shows a proactive commitment to safeguarding people and public welfare by blocking misuse of aircraft as weapons. The other options describe outcomes or tactics that don’t reflect this safety-focused purpose—maximizing flight speed is an operational metric, encouraging passenger disputes undermines service and safety, and increasing ticket prices is a business decision not tied to the mission of preventing weaponization. So the statement about stopping aircraft from being used as steerable weapons of mass destruction best represents the organization’s mission.
