The most likely option, then, is that American and French ships will fire on Syrian "command and control" infrastructure – buildings, tents, airfields and other spots used by the Syrian government to organise the war on its own people.
These would provide data for the central artillery post to calculate with its imported Pollen Argo Mark V Clock, a mechanical fire-control computer, and then transmit the gun commands via the Geisler transmission system for the gun crew to follow.
The earliest command-guided air-to-surface and antitank munitions were tracked by eye and controlled by hand; later the naked eye gave way to enhanced optics and television tracking, which often operated in the infrared range and issued commands generated automatically by computerized fire-control systems.
He transmitted his commands via a Geisler electro-mechanical fire-control transmission system to each gun or turret.
He then transmitted his commands via a Geisler electro-mechanical fire-control transmission system to each gun or turret.
The gunnery officer then calculated the proper elevation and deflection required to hit the target and transmitted his commands via a Geisler electro-mechanical fire-control transmission system to each turret.
These systems, which can deliver nuclear warheads, incorporate vehicles to launch the missiles and to house command and fire-control computers and other equipment.
The single-stage, solid-fueled Patriot missile was controlled by command guidance and employed track-via-missile homing, in which information from the radar in the missile itself was used by the launch site fire-control system.
Lion received a fire-control director between mid-1915 and May 1916 that centralised the pointing and firing of the guns under the command of the light aloft tower positioned on the foremast.
