	EOS Technologies Electro Optic Fire Control System (EFCS)
		The Electro-optic Fire Control System (EFCS) is a surveillance and fire control system optimized for land and naval applications.
		It provides fire control for missiles, multiple weapons of different caliber, and combinations of both missiles and cannon on a single platform.
		For this application, EFCS is used with a video tracker to control the stabilized platform with an operator located on the mount.

		Fire controls and weapons used in anti–fighter or anti–missile mode cannot be used in normal fire modes that turn.
		Firing a weapon in Raking Mode adds 1 to each die roll, but the maximum damage is 1 DP per die, and the dice cannot be re– rolled on rolls of 6, thus, each die that rolls 1 or 2 inflicts no damage, while each dice that rolls 3 or more inflicts 1 DP.
		A single beam weapon that hits (including a hit on screens or shields) on one turn can sustain fire on the target in the next turn, if it remains in arc and range and a fire control system is dedicated to the weapon at the start of that turn.

	Fire-control system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Submarines were also equipped with fire control computers for the same reasons, but their problem was even more pronounced; in a typical "shot", the torpedo would take several minutes to reach its target.
		The High Angle Control System, or HACS, of Britain's Royal Navy is an example of a system that was not predictive and was therefore limited in its usefulness.
		Once the pilot maneuvers the aircraft so that the target and pipper are superimposed, he or she fires the weapon, or on some aircraft the weapon will fire automatically at this point, in order to overcome the reaction delay of the pilot.

	CHAPTER-26-D
		Gun Fire Control System Mark 63 is manually operated and is designed to control the fire of 40mm and 30”/50 guns against air targets at ranges from 800 to 7,000 yards.
		The system uses a disturbed line of sight, meaning that while the sight housing and gun barrels are aimed at future target position, the optical line of sight and radar beam remain on the present target position.
		The pointer, in maintaining the center of the reticle on the target, causes the director and the guns it controls to be offset from the line of sight and to point ahead of (lead) the target, because of movement of the mirrors in the optical system caused by precession of the gyros.

	Fire Control Systems -- Fire Alarms, Fire Prevention, Fire Suppression, Fire Extinguishers
		The use of halon 1301 systems in the oil, gas and other process industries in the US has been focused in Alaska where, due to the way the facilities were designed and constructed, the removal of the halon 1301 systems from the process areas is economically impossible.
		For new process areas, involving enclosed modules with a potential methane buildup, gas detection systems and controls are being used to shutdown and blowdown processes and to turn on high rate ventilation systems rather than closing up the space and trying to inert it with an extinguishing agent.
		Several oil companies are removing their halon 1301 systems from the electronics areas and (1) replacing those systems with high sensitivity smoke detection systems or (2) replacing the halon systems with a preaction sprinkler systems if sprinklers are required by code or (3) replacing the halon 1301 systems with a halocarbon alternative, most often FM-200.

	KMDB - Oplot Main Battle Tank - Fire control system
		The Oplot is fitted with an advanced fire-control system, and either the gunner or commander can lay and fire the main armament at stationary and moving targets while the tank is stationary or moving with a high first round hit probability.
		The fire control system has a so-called dynamic fire gating capability, i.e., after the gun firing button has been pushed, the gun will only fire when the misalignment between the line of sight and the gun bore axis is within acceptable limits.
		As an option, the tank fire-control system can also include a projectile muzzle velocity sensor, which measures the velocity in question and feeds information to the tank's fire control ballistic computer after each firing of the gun to allow to automatically correct for gun bore wear, charge temperature and other factors.

	Modular interlinked marine fire-control system and method for compensating alignment errors in such modular interlinked ...
		Generally speaking, the modular interlinked marine fire-control system of the present development is of the type comprising a plurality of subsystems, each subsystem comprising at least one target detection module and a predetermined number of effector modules operatively associated with the at least one target detection module.
		By permanent monitoring of the condition of the system, an optimum readiness for action is achieved by controlling the interlinking of the individual modules or subsystems (blocks E and F).
		This safety system could be ensured in the simplest manner by a supervising person effecting the necessary coupling of the modules, whereby a long reaction time to system changes would have to be put up with.

	Gun Fire Control System by Nico Ottevaere
		In order to control the Parallax 180 deg servos over their full range, a pulse length with a greater range is to be used.
		In speed control however, the transmitter sends the rate at which the target changes its relative bearing (that is what you do for your engine's control).
		A set-up with only two control groups and two servos, one for the forward guns (with or without director), and one for the after guns, still provides a very performing system.
