ABSTRACT:
A fire-control system for anti-aircraft defense systems, particularly mobile ones, having at least one launch apparatus for guided missiles that is pivotable in elevation and disposed on a platform that is pivotable in azimuth, has an optical target-tracking sensor that is rigidly coupled with the launch apparatus, a follow-up computer for panning the target-tracking sensor after targets, a directional angle computer for calculating lead and elevation of the guided missile during launch, and a control unit that has adjustment drives for the platform and launch apparatus, which unit pivots the platform in azimuth and the launch apparatus in elevation, and, prior to launch, locks the lead on the platform and the elevation on the launch apparatus. For the purpose of a very rapid second attack, the line of sight of the target-tracking sensor rigidly coupled with the launch apparatus is guided via a vertically and horizontally pivotable pivoting mirror that is positioned during lock-on of lead and elevation by azimuth and elevation angles that correspond to those for the platform and launch apparatus, but in a direction counter to the direction of displacement of the platform and launch apparatus.
