Advanced Gun Fire Control System (AGFCS) Design Study (Phase II). Volume I.

Abstract

The Advanced Gun Fire Control System (AGFCS) program is a multi-phase program to investigate, through analysis, manned simulation and flight test evaluation, technical approaches which exhibit the potential of providing significant improvement in the effectiveness of present gun fire control systems employed in the aerial attack phase of the air superiority mission. The purpose of Phase II, the AGFCS Design Study, was to design an Augmented Tracking System (ATS) for possible fabrication and flight test evaluation in a later phase of the AGFCS Program. The ATS is defined to be the tracking sensors, the computer and the software used to process the tracking signals. The task of the ATS is to determine the target-dependent variables which are required to solve the lead angle equation in a director mechanization of the AGFCS. The ATS will ultimately serve as the core of an advanced gun fire contrl system.
