Q I The mission of the Fire Controlmen on board NIMITZ is to provide the last line of defense against airborne threats. Fire Contolmen are respon- sible for the repair, maintenance and operation ofthe AN XSPS-48-E 3-D air search radar, MK-23 Target Acquisition System, NATO Seasparrow Mis- sile System and MK-15 Close-ln Weapons System. The ANISPS-48-E radar, the longest-range radar on board NIMITZ, and the MK-23 Target Acquisition System are used to provide targeting information to the NATO Seasparrow Missile System. The NATO Seasparrow Missile System engages and destroys inbound air targets using the RIM-7 missile. Should the air target survive and continue inbound the MK-15 Close-In Weapon System would engage and destroy it using the 20mm Gatling gun. FCCM J. Miller FCC B. Miller p . FCC W. Quill i FC1 T.
