Elbit Systems’ sophisticated suite of Fire Control Systems (FCS) offers unparalleled performance in battlefield conditions, featuring long-range, day and night, on-the-move high first-round hit probability against moving targets. Reliable, cost-effective and easily configurable to a wide variety of armored fighting vehicles (AFVs) and main battle tanks (MBTs), the systems range from simplified FCS for one-man light turrets to high-performance hunter-killer FCS for front-line MBTs.
Battle-proven
With more than 12,000 FCS deployed worldwide – either as part of vehicle upgrade programs or for new vehicles – the systems are fully battle-proven and have delivered exceptional results. All systems have undergone rigorous testing and are fully compliant with MIL standards.
Fully integrated
All primary FCS components are developed and manufactured in-house, enabling seamless integration and reliable configuration for a wide range of fighting vehicles of all origins.
The FCS original components include
computers, displays, thermal sensors, laser rangefinders, complex sighting periscopes, advanced image processing, automatic target tracking, day cameras, image intensifiers, thermal cameras as well as a dual-axis panoramic sight stabilization system for gunners and commanders. All systems include a manual backup capability.
Highly accurate
Effective both day and night, in all operational scenarios and in all-weather conditions, the fully integrated and computerized sighting and firing systems feature extraordinarily high first-round hit probabilities.
NCW ready
Every FCS is configurable with Battle Management Systems used in Network Centric Warfare (NCW).
Cost-effective maintenance
The modular design combined with a built-in test embedded training; the FCS allows training within the vehicle. The crew can be presented with realistic scenarios and can perform normal tasks in response to simulated inputs. Performance can be recorded for later review and feedback.
