The FCS system is a Direct View Optic (DVO) and it features a laser range finder. Also, the onboard ballistic computer stores more than 50 different ballistic algorithms. Meanwhile, the near parallax free optics channel delivers unlimited eye relief. Additionally, the unit automatically compensates for ballistic drop at measured distances. Further, the FCS factors variables including rotational drift, propellant temperature and terrain angle.
The FCS also aids in engaging moving targets, calculating the point of aim based on speed of target dynamically. Additionally, the FCS makes these calculations …Read the Rest
