Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox radar Type 81 Fire Control System (FCS-2) is a Japanese shipboard gun and missile fire-control system. This series of systems has been installed on destroyers of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force built between FY1977 and FY2001 to control medium-caliber guns and Sea Sparrow missiles,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn including ESSM.Шаблон:Sfn
Background
In the 1960s, the Шаблон:Nihongo had been developing FCS-1, a traditional manned ship gun fire-control system. Then, in response to the sinking of Eilat in 1967, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force began to focus on improving anti-ship missile defense (ASMD) capabilities. Since FY1970, the TRDI began to develop the Шаблон:Nihongo, a new ASMD-capable FCS.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
In FY1975, a prototype was installed in Шаблон:Ship with an OTO Melara 76 mm compact gun, and a marine test was started. In the initial plan, it was to be introduced into service with the Шаблон:Sclass built under the FY1975 program, but it was abandoned due to development delay and dutch WM-25 was installed for this class. In order to solve this plan delay, special work groups were formed in 1978 with uniformed officials and civilian engineers. As they conducted vigorous research and fierce shooting experiments of hundreds of shots a day, shooting accuracy improved dramatically and all problems were solved.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
Design
In the prototype, there were two antennas for track while scan operation: slotted waveguide antenna for searching and cassegrain antenna for tracking. Both antennas were covered with a radome. Also outside of the radome, an electro-optical tracker was installed. As a fire-control computer, digital electronic computer was installed instead of an electromechanical analog computer of the FCS-1. Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
Mass production versions were put into service with destroyers and destroyer escorts built under the FY1977 program. On the Шаблон:Sclass, a combination of one FCS-2-12 and one FCS-2-21 was adopted at the beginning. FCS-2-12 is very similar to the prototype, but adds a missile guidance function. FCS-2-21A is a simplified version specialized in gun fire-control, adding an electro-optical tracker on the left side of tracking radar antenna and omitting the search radar antenna.Шаблон:Sfn And a FCS-2-21B was installed on the destroyer escort Шаблон:Ship, which introduced a Passive electronically scanned array antenna instead of a cassegrain antenna and was capable of searching. Then many minor change models were developed.Шаблон:Sfn
In the second-generation DDs, two FCS-2-31 are installed, not a combination of two heterogeneous models.Шаблон:Sfn In this model, a dish similar to 2-21A controls both a medium-caliber gun and Sea Sparrow missiles.Шаблон:Sfn
