fire direction center การใช้

• To the rear of the howitzers, the artillerymen set up a tent for the fire direction center ( FDC ) personnel.
• In the US System the observer sends a request for fire, usually to his battalion or battery Fire Direction Center ( FDC ).
• The decision as to which type of fuze to use is made by the fire direction center and carried out by the gun crew.
• The defending artillerymen and mortar crews fought in desperation, heightened by the loss of communications between most weapons and their fire direction centers ( FDC ).
• The fuze length reflects the range between the gun and its target, before digital computers this range was manually calculated in the command post or fire direction center.
• Like any typical late-war FSB, most of Mary Ann's bunkers were made from converted metal shipping containers known as 155mm howitzers, the fire direction center and the artillery command post.
• Each of the recce platoons is organized with four Stryker reconnaissance vehicles, mounting either an mortar section consists of four 120-mm self-propelled mortars ( Stryker variant ) and a fire direction center.
• Each mortar section contains an eight-man section headquarters, which includes a section leader, two ammunition men, and a fire direction center with two forward observers ( FOs ), and four five-man mortar squads.
• The digitally upgraded M119A3 includes software and hardware component upgrades, GPS for navigation, a digital gunner's display, and digital communication between each gun and the fire direction center to speed up the process of receiving firing data and firing shells.
• The greatest difference is the integration of an inertial navigation system, sensors detecting the weapons'lay, automation, and an encrypted digital communication system, which utilizes computer controlled frequency hopping to avoid enemy electronic warfare and allow the howitzer to send grid location and altitude to the battery fire direction center ( FDC ).
• Once the target was located, the user would go to the virtual DMD and enter a fire mission just as a real FO would do with a real DMD . Messages back and forth between the user and the fire direction center ( shot and splash ) would precede the depiction of an artillery round bursting where the user had described the target location.
• "During his period as Director of the Department of Gunnery, [ Brewer ] developed the technique of fire direction with a central fire direction center in the battalion which proved very effective in World War II . This procedure permitted the massing of fire of all the divisional artillery on a target that one battery had adjusted on, or on a target that the division commander had designated, in a matter of minutes.
• These gunners can also rely upon a trained artillery observer, also called a forward observer who sees the target, relays the coordinates of the target to their fire direction center which, in turn translates those coordinates into : a left-right aiming direction; an elevation angle; a calculated number of bags of propellant and finally a fuze with a determined waiting time before exploding, ( if necessary ) to be set, which is then mated to the artillery projectile now ready to be fired.
