The BORAN Fire Control System (FCS) is a fire control system that developed to be used in a lightweight, high firepower 105 mm BORAN howitzer that can be transported from air by helicopter, towed by road.
This integrated system, which enables the preparation, fire management and fire control operations of the howitzer to be carried out with a computer, first speed measurement radar and inertial navigation system, also has electro-optic and laser rangefinder units that enable firing by seeing day/night.
The system also provides digital integration of howitzer to command control systems and fire support elements.
