Trial Maneuver requires stabilization input to be valid; what is true about its availability and accuracy?

Trial Maneuver depends on a stabilized reference to produce a valid prediction of future target motion. The stabilization input provides a steady, accurate reference frame that the ARPA uses to simulate how the ship would move and how the target would appear if a maneuver were executed. Without stabilization input, there’s nothing reliable to base the simulation on, so the maneuver data can't be generated and the feature is effectively unavailable. If stabilization data exists but has errors, every calculation in the trial maneuver is biased by those errors, so the projected path and relative bearings will be off—making the results inaccurate.
