Contraves super bat
The fire control device 63 Superfledermaus from Contraves (Flt Gt 63) is an omnidirectional pulse radar device, 111 of which were used by the Swiss Air Force from 1965 to 1977 . The Superfledermaus fire control system was jointly developed and produced by ten companies. It replaced the Mark VII fire control radar .
function
The Flt Gt 63 simultaneously controls two anti-aircraft guns with 35 mm Oerlikon twin cannons . It monitors the airspace with the radar, tracks the target to be attacked with radar or optically and determines the shooting data for the connected guns without delay. With the Optical Allocator (OZ), targets can be assigned directly to the straightening device. The target assignment from the target assignment radar (ZZR) takes place via verbal radio or telephone transmission to the parallax computer operator, who enters the data into the device. On a towed trailer, it comprises a Doppler radar in the E / F band with a range of 15 kilometers and a pulse Doppler radar in the J band with a range of 15 kilometers as well. The system was also used in the first prototype of the Gepard anti-aircraft gunship .
