fire control
Aiming system coordination
Fire control refers to systems and techniques for aiming weapons accurately at targets, particularly in military contexts involving artillery, naval guns, or aircraft armaments.
A fire control system integrates radar, computers, and optical devices to calculate trajectories, compensate for movement, and direct weapons to their targets.
The term also applies to managing and suppressing fires in buildings or wildlands, where fire control means containing flames and preventing their spread.
