Mk.68 GFCS was the standard for the Mark 42 5"/54 cal gun, but this machine was also used as a secondary directional board. Well known electric engineer Ivan A. Getting was involved in the creation of AN/SPG-35.
Elon Reeve Musk (/ ˈ iː l ɒ n / EE-lon; born June 28, 1971) is a businessman known for his key roles in Tesla, Inc., SpaceX, and Twitter (which he rebranded as X).Since 2025, he has been a senior advisor to United States president Donald Trump and de facto head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The AN/SPG-60 (pronounced as "SPIG sixty") is a United States tracking radar that is part of the MK-86 Gun Fire Control System (GFCS). [1] [2] It is used for air tracking and on some MK-86 configurations it is also used for illumination for RIM-24 Tartar and RIM-66 Standard missiles. Though the radar is primarily an air tracking radar, the SPG ...
However, unlike Mk.63, the fire-control radar was installed on the directional board rather than on the gun side. [6] Of AN/SPG-34, Mk.63 adopted mod.1 and mod.2 while Mk.57 adopted mod.3 and mod.4. [4] Later, based on the Mk.63, the Mk.70 was also developed as a derivative of the Ku-band AN/SPG-52 range-finding radar. [1]
Rear view of the AN/SPG-55B aboard USS Worden (CG-18).. The AN/SPG-55 was an American tracking / illumination radar for Terrier and RIM-67 Standard missiles (SM-1ER/SM-2ER). ). It was used for target tracking and surface-to-air missile guidance as part of the Mk 76 missile fire control system
Diagram of the Aegis Combat System (Baseline 2-6). The Aegis Combat System (ACS) implements advanced command and control (command and decision, or C&D, in Aegis parlance). It is composed of the Aegis Weapon System (AWS), the fast-reaction component of the Aegis Anti-Aircraft Warfare (AAW) capability, along with the Phalanx Close In Weapon System (CIWS), and the Mark 41 Vertical Launch System
Figure 1: The Ford Mk 1 Ballistic Computer. The name "rangekeeper" began to become inadequate to describe the increasingly complicated functions of rangekeeper. The Mk 1 Ballistic Computer was the first rangekeeper that was referred to as a computer. Note the three pistol grips in the foreground, which are the firing keys of the main guns.
The Mk 8 computer used all electric methods of computation, in contrast to the Mk 1, which performed most computations via mechanical devices. The Mk 8 was found to be more accurate than the Mk 1 and substantially faster in reaching a fire control solution, [ 2 ] but by the time it was developed and tested in 1944, supplies of the Mk 1 were ...
