	ADA Units in Vietnam
		Fire control was largely visual, though some guns were equipped with predictors and power control."
		All 40mm ammunition was tracer, however, and the system was designed primarily for direct fire on pinpoint targets at ranges of approximately 2,000 meters, where the gunner could see the strike of the rounds.
		Demands for fire support far outstripped availability of weapons, and individual fire units were quickly scattered throughout the battalions' areas of responsibility.

	MK 92 Fire Control System (FCS)
		The MK 92 Fire Control System (FCS) is deployed onboard FFG 7 PERRY-Class ships in conjunction with the MK 75 Naval Gun and the MK 13 Guided Missile Launching System.
		The Mark 92 fire control system, an Americanized version of the WM-25 system designed in The Netherlands, was approved for service use in 1975.
		The MK 92 Fire Control System (FCS) provides FFG 7 class frigates and other surface combatants with a fast reaction, high fire-power, all-weather weapons control system for use against air and surface targets.

	The True Fire Simulator System
		This aspect alone makes it worth using the TrueFire system occasionally, especially if it is difficult for you to reach a range where rapid fire is permitted.
		If the system you are shooting on doesn't seem well maintained, stop as soon as possible and save yourself the frustration and the money.
		The patented tracking system figures out where your shot went through the screen and relays this data back to the computer which decides if your shot was a hit.

	H.M.S. Hood Association�Battle Cruiser Hood: Hood's Fire Control System: an Overview, by William Schleihauf
		During the latter part of World War One, and between the wars, there was much interest in optical instruments ("inclinometers") to determine the inclination of the target, because inclination, if accurately measured, could be a useful input into the fire control system for determining the rates of change of range and bearing.
		Hood was only fitted with radar in the early part of 1941, when she received a Type 284 gunnery set: at this point in the war, it would have provided another set of inputs (particularly for range) into the fire control system, but otherwise no significant change to the overall fire control system.
		It is worth noting that the "Fire Control Requirements Committee" report (dated 1921: reference ADM 116/2068 in the Public Record Office) would recommend: centralised control positions in turrets are not required and turret local control is reduced to the simplest possible.

	Weapons & Defences Archive - Fire Control Systems
		The Grav Compensation Fire Control (GCFC) System is a specialized fire control system that compensates for the effects of the 'grav wake' of a spaceship’s Main Drive, allowing weapons that can be fired into the Aft arc to fire effectively even if the Main drive is being used.
		The Long Range Defence Fire Control (LRDFC) System allows beam batteries of class–2 or more to be used in anti–missile or anti– fighter roles in the same way that Class–1 beam batteries can.
		The system would then link to a fire control system and be able to fire say, 1 or 2 standard beams, or maybe link to any number of fire control systems, but only fire one per FCS.

	Interceptor Rex --- The Avro CF-105 Arrow
		A compartiment in the nose was designed for the Astra radar and fire control system, that in the end never was installed.
		It was to be equipped with a sophisticated fire control system, and to have an all-missile armament.
		The CF-105 relied to a much higher degree on electronic systems for control than any previous aircraft, although it was not a true fly-by-wire design.

	Belarusian Review :: State Defense Industry Committee: A New Tractor For National Economy?
		It is rather a number of high-tech enterprises making automatic control systems, avionics, reconnaissance devices, electronic warfare and communication equipment, components for "intelligent" machines, space devices, sights, laser technologies, etc. The financial potential of such products and technologies is much higher than that of tanks and other armored vehicles.
		Belarus' defense industry is probably best known for its automatic systems to control troops, reconnaissance, aviation, air defense systems, electronic warfare equipment and data transmission systems.
		It will perform certain functions in the export control system, which was recently the job of the foreign ministry, minister of defense, customs authorities and some other agencies.

	The Douglas F4D Skyray
		Along with the J57 engine, the production aircraft featured numerous small changes and was fitted with the Aero-13 fire-control system, which featured Westinghouse AN/APQ-50 radar.
		Of course, modern digital fly-by-wire flight control systems would have tamed the Skyray, even exploited its instability to optimize maneuverability, but such things were almost unimaginable in its day.
		Due to delays in delivery of the radar system, initial production Skyrays weren't originally fitted with the radar, and apparently a handful were never refitted with it.

	MK91 Guided Missile Fire Control System (GMFCS)
		The MK91 NATO Seasparrow Guided Missile Fire Control System (GMFCS) Rearchitecture Program integrates NATO SEASPARROW Surface Missile System (NSSMS) into the Ship Self Defense System (SSDS) Architecture to provide an additional layer of ship missile defense.
		This effort consists of combining the Firing Officer Console and Radar Set Console functionality into a single Advanced Display System Console (AN/UYQ 70); modifying the Signal Data Processor and eliminating the MK157 Computer Signal Data Converter, and System Evaluation and Trainer (SEAT) which cannot accommodate further upgrade; and redistributing this functionality within SSDS compatible microprocessors.
		This approach will eliminate the analog, point-to-point architecture, limited input-output channel and computer processing reserve deficiencies resident in the existing MK57 NSSMS, as well as allow for full exploitation of the capabilities of the future ESSM and provide significant reductions (50%) in NSSMS cost of ownership and manning.
