Fire-control system
Ranged weapon assistance system / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the process of suppressing or extinguishing a fire, see Fire control.
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. It performs the same task as a human gunner firing a weapon, but attempts to do so faster and more accurately.
