Pre-configured 3U cPCI Fire Control and Targeting System Model FCT-35CP0D

Eletter Product

Pre-configured Fire Control and Targeting (FCT)

The FCT-35CP0D fire control and targeting unit is a pre-configured system or subsystem with field-proven backplane technology and intelligent high-density I/O and communications modules. The application-ready fire control and targeting unit features an adaptive design approach and rugged dependability with a drive and feedback response system that includes the 6-channel digital-to-synchro drive. The application-ready FCT hardware quickly integrates with manufacturer’s software algorithms to simplify and accelerate deployment. NAI’s FCT systems are deployed on numerous air, land and sea rugged vehicles worldwide, meeting dynamic program requirements in less time - with No NRE.

NAI leverages its decades of experience in embedding electronics to deliver application-ready fire control & targeting systems. With its highly adaptive, modular Custom-On-Standard Architecture™ (COSA™), these systems seamlessly integrate with NAI’s high-density, intelligent multifunction modules, which contain the highest packaging density and offer the most design flexibility of any multifunction I/O board in the industry. The FCT-35CP0D supports high-density multi-channel programmable A/D, RTD, thermocouple with Serial, ARINC 429/575 and CANBus communications and an Ethernet-based host.

The FCT-35CP0D Fire Control & Targeting systems can be applied to applications where a multitude of sensor and command interfaces, pitch, roll and yaw inputs need to be maintained to ensure steady “on target” aim and control on on-the-move gunships. Other critical applications include targeting “line-of-sight” communications, radar, and laser guidance.

Rugged systems used in carrying out high-performance, defense missions must meet stringent environmental requirements such as shock, vibration and extreme temperatures within SWaP-constrained systems. These attributes are inherent in COTS designs and offer customers readily-available, adaptable, field-proven systems and subsystems.
