Abstract From the Canadian patent
Improved automated fire control apparatus includes servomotor positioned weapon(s), range-determining radar optical sight and controller, and a data processor. Multiple improved feedback network organizations are provided to control the optical sighting path vis-a-vis gun mount for automated lead angle implementation under overall gunner supervision. Thus for, example, optical line of sight deflection is controlled inter alia, by radar by radar, antenna positioning target flight projection computations as well as manual gunner signal entry.
