Fire-control system
open-in-new
<p>A fire-control system (FCS) is a number of components working together, usually a <a href="/facts/Gun_data_computer/hsGHH6E8">gun data computer</a>, a <a href="/facts/Director_(military)/WB8M6K03">director</a> and <a href="/facts/Radar/jk9BTbFA">radar</a>, which is designed to assist a ranged weapon system to target, track, and hit a target. It performs the same task as a human <a href="/facts/Crew-served_weapon/7vMQBJxL">gunner</a> firing a weapon, but attempts to do so faster and more accurately. </p>
