This is a list of United States Army fire control, and sighting material by supply catalog designation, or Standard Nomenclature List (SNL) group "F".The United States Army Ordnance Corps Supply Catalog used an alpha-numeric nomenclature system from about the mid-1920s to about 1958.
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.
[1] [16] Along with the new fire control system, a new modern stabilizer was added to the traverse system which eased the process of the main gun staying on target while engaging—providing stability for aiming the cannon while traveling at high speeds on rough terrain, and giving high accuracy on the move without needing to stop the tank.

Upgraded Georgian army T-72SIM-1 tanks use the Drawa-T fire control system, a development of the fire control system on the PT-91. The FCS is equipped with laser range finder and thermal imaging sensor. The system is slightly different from the one used on Polish PT-91s: the commander uses an LCD screen instead of an eyepiece.
The system consists of a stabilized firing platform, a fire-control system and control grips. Several weapons can be mounted to the platform, such as: M2 Browning 12.7×99 .50 BMG heavy machine gun; NSV 12.7×108 heavy machine gun; M240/FN MAG 7.62×51mm NATO general-purpose machine gun; M249/FN Minimi 5.56×45mm NATO light machine gun
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 ...
Since then, the SPG-62 has been placed in service with many U.S. and foreign navy ships that have the Aegis Combat System. The SPG-62's role in Aegis fire control is to illuminate targets in the terminal interception phase. First, the ship's main search radars—either the AN/SPY-1 or the AN/SPY-6—detect and track the target. The Mk 99 FCS ...
The version for the military was called the UNIVAC 1219 (known as the "Mk 152 Fire Control Computer.") [3] [4] It was part of the Navy's Mk 76 missile fire control system, used to control the AN/SPG-55 radar system.
