The FDC (Fire Ditribution Center) is characterized by its modern fire control system with real-time data handling, interoperability and intuitive and easy to operate Man Machine Interface providing a Real-time Air Defense Battle Command and Defensive Precision Fires Capability. The open and modular SW/HW architecture enables combining Air Defense, Field Artillery, Strike Missiles and CAS Operations providing merged Offensive and Defensive Precision Fires capabilities in a true Plug & Fight tailorable solution. The FDC truly integrates systems, sensors and effectors in ONE system. Higher Echelon Units, adjacent units, sensors, effectors and other battle forces are integrated through the mature and fielded Network Access Nodes utilizing fielded legacy protocols. The FDC has a wide range of fielded logical decision support tools ensuring ONE Integrated Air Picture, Common Operating Picture, Threat Evaluation and Weapon Allocation, providing a consistent Battle Command for all forces. Each system in a joint and combined theatre of operation contributes a subset of information necessary to conduct military operations.

| Combat use |
|
The system of FDC performs data link management, sensor control, air picture production, track identification and classification, friendly protection, threat ordering, weapon allocation, weapon & engagement control and kill assessment. In addition an embedded or stand-alone Mission Support Tool (MST) is provided to accelerate the commander’s decision making process regarding deployment planning, monitoring current system status, and for in-depth analysis and debriefs. The FDC integration of tactical data links involves both the handling of relevant messages according to the standard message catalogue and the implementation of functionality in the C4I software to support the needed level of system interoperability. Such functionality undertakes the sequence of events, leading to maximized coordination between the FDC and other actors in the Battle Space.
