Abstract
The Mark Eighty-Six Gun Fire Control System was designed by
Lockheed Electronics Company to take range, hearing and elevation
inputs from either the radar receiver, target designation transmitters
(TDT), or a closed circuit television system aboard ship in order to
solve the air, surface and gunfire support problems. The solution
to the fire control problem is in terms of computed gun and fuze
orders.
The MK 86 GFCS operates digitally and is currently designed to
operate with 5"/54 gun mounts. However, it could be adapted to almost
any naval gun.
This thesis is directed towards the development of a system
error analysis, based on the USS Norton Sound (AVM-l) test data
provided by NSMSES.
