Fire Control Platform Capabilities

Fire control performance is directly dependent on a number of factors, from environmental impacts to the performance of platform-specific systems and sub-systems, including hardware and software. This topic focuses on fire control solutions from a platform perspective, in the space, air, land and maritime (both surface and sub-surface) domains. Discussion and analysis of the impact of the design and configuration of the platform on fire control system performance is covered. In addition to considering offensive fire control performance, this topic also addresses defensive capabilities that enable the fire control system to perform in highly contested environments. Other areas included in this topic are:

  • System performance predictions, including consideration of environmental impacts;
  • Live fire test results;
  • Lessons learned on weapon, sensor, platform integration issues (interoperability);
  • Platform fire control tactics, techniques, and procedures;
  • Ongoing and planned platform fire control upgrades; and
  • Integrated, multi-platform fire control solutions.
