CMS stands for?

• A. Control Monitor Station
• B. Central Monitoring System
• C. Command Management System
• D. Control Module Station

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is recognizing what the acronym refers to in Navy IT terminology: a workstation designed for both watching system status and issuing commands. A Control Monitor Station is the interface operators use to observe alarms, check health metrics, and send control actions to equipment to keep the network running smoothly. It combines viewing and controlling functions in a single station, which is why this naming fits a dedicated operator interface.

Other options describe broader or different roles. Central Monitoring System would imply an overarching monitoring framework rather than the specific operator workstation. Command Management System suggests handling commands and workflows rather than live monitoring and direct control at a local station. A Control Module Station would imply a modular component rather than the standard operator monitoring/control workstation.
