FM DIVISION The Missile Fire Control System may be divided into four subsystems, each one of which is housed in separate spaces within the ship. They are the Weapons Control Station, the MK 111 Fire Control Computer, the AN!SPG49 Tracking!Acquisition radars and their control modules, and the ANXSPW-2 guidance radars and their control module. The focal point of the entirety of the Talos missile system is the weapons control station. Here target informa- tion is processed by an array of radar display! decision consoles and disseminated to the rest of the system. From here missiles are brought onto the Talos launcher and fired. Once a target has been designated to the system by weapons control the giant SPG-49A radars go out on the threat bearing to track their targets. Target information is then relayed to the MK lil computer which solves the Fire Control problem of interception within seconds Once a solution is available the SPW 2 guidance radars are enabled to direct Talos to intercept QC S nd Row: R.

ff GM DIVISION GM Division is the division which is responsible for the mis- sile house and the Talos missiles within it. The varied tasks per- formed by the division require two ratings, FTMS and GMMS. The FTlVls are responsible for the complex electrical and hydraulic systems within the missile. lt is their hard work which ensures that all the missiles on board are ready to fly at a moment's notice to protect the ship from air or surface attack. The GMMs maintain the pow- erful hydraulic and pneumatic equipment used to move the if-issiles from place to place and ti'Zfr'..itcly to the launcher, point- ml in the right direction for Ilfiptl iv-4 First How: B.
