A portable, self-contained fire control system includes one or more of: 1)
the means to provide geodetic positioning and navigational data for the
host weapon platform in relation to established coordinate reference
systems; 2) the means to digitally communicate with an off-platform
command and control network; 3) the means to compute host platform
ballistics data; 4) the means to indicate the current weapon orientation
and additionally to indicate the horizontal and vertical weapon movements
required to aim the weapon; 5) the means to inductively set fuzes for
firing; 6) the means for digitally receiving and processing pre-computed
mission data through to the fuze/projectile; 7) the means for locally
computing mission data; and 8) the means for manually entering
pre-computed data into the system.
