Fire Direction Center

A Fire Direction Center (FDC) is a command and control unit responsible for coordinating and managing artillery fire support. It processes target information, calculates firing data, and communicates with weapon crews to ensure accurate and effective destruction of targets. Acting as the nerve center for artillery operations, the FDC ensures safety, precision, and synchronization in fire missions, often working closely with intelligence and targeting teams to adapt to changing battlefield conditions. Its role is vital for effective artillery support in military operations, maximizing combat effectiveness while minimizing risks.
