Abstract
Improved automated fire control apparatus includes servomotor positioned weapon(s), range-determining radar, optical sight and controller, and a data processor. Multiple, improved feedback network organizations are provided to control the optical sighting path vis-a-vis gun mount for automated lead angle implementation under overall gunner supervision. Thus, for example, optical line of sight deflection is controlled, inter alia, by radar antenna positioning, target flight projection computations as well as manual gunner signal entry.
