TIGER – Power Supply FCU
FCU Fire & Control Unit
The guided missile system TRIGAT/LR, designed for
antitank warfare and engagement of point targets, is planned as armament for the TIGER helicopter.
The system‘s most outstanding characteristics are its advanced vision system, fire power control and missile guidance technologies.
The TRIGAT/LR system has a multi-target-engagement capacity and can perform salvo-firings against up to 4 targets even in electronic and electro-optical jamming environment.
After target designation the missile homes in on its target autonomously (fire & forget principle).
The power supply of the fire and control unit (FCU) is a customer-specific APCON product.
More than 93% of the EEE-parts are SMD (surface mounted devices).
This APCON product uses high density design at very small dimensions.
The unit operates over the full military temperature range. APCON is contract holder of the series production.
