A German anti-aircraft 88 mm Flak gun with its fire-control computer from World War II. Displayed in the Canadian War Museum.. A fire-control system (FCS) is a number of components working together, usually a gun data computer, a director and radar, which is designed to assist a ranged weapon system to target, track, and hit a target.
175 AMX-13/75 and 130 AMX-13/105 or total of 305 AMX-13 acquired in 1960s. As of 2018, Janes reported that only half of the fleet (120+) operational and the remaining tanks were upgraded and retrofitted with new fire control system and 105mm rifled gun by PT Pindad. AMX-13 will be replaced by Harimau Medium Tank/Kaplan MT. [77] Armoured vehicle
Fire Safety Journal is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research on all aspects of the science and engineering of fire, fire safety, and fire protection.Topics include but are not limited to chemistry and physics of fire, fire dynamics, explosions, fire protection systems, detection, suppression, structural response, structural protection, fire investigations, design (including ...
This product is known as the SG2 Shareable (Fire Control) Software Suite (S4) and is sometimes abbreviated as S 4 when referenced. Fire-control system developers and most of the international (primarily NATO) ballistics communities are familiar with the mature NATO Armaments Ballistic Kernel (NABK) [ 1 ] and other software component items that ...
Fire Technology is a peer-reviewed journal publishing scientific research dealing with fire hazards facing humans and the environment. [1] It publishes original contributions, both theoretical and empirical, that contribute to the solution of problems in fire safety and related fields.
During this phase, the radar system searches in the designated area in a predetermined search pattern until the target is located or redesignated. This phase terminates when a weapon is launched. Tracking phase The fire-control radar enters into the track phase when the target is located. The radar system locks onto the target during this phase.
In brief, the fire control system in use from about 1900 through WW2 involved observers, often situated in base end stations or other fire control towers, using optical instruments (like azimuth telescopes or depression position finders) to measure bearings and/or ranges to targets (usually moving ships).
The system is installed on many modern and retrofitted Chinese navy ships. [ 1 ] The Type 345 fire control radar appears to be based on the Thomson-CSF Castor CTM (Conduite de Tir Multisensor) fire control radar, which is a Castor II/J with a separate IR camera (Piraña) and TV tracker and not the oft quoted Castor IIC.
