[h2]AH-64D Update[/h2] [h3]Fire Control Radar[/h3] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//4471395/db20ebc1b987f961109c61e4ae08f6974fab9730.png[/img] The AN/APG-78 FCR was designed to enhance the target acquisition and engagement process of the AH-64D when faced with large numbers of enemy armor units moving across the battlefield. More than just a sensor for detecting and engaging targets, the FCR is a target classification and prioritization system that automates and accelerates the process of acquiring targets and determining which of those targets should be engaged to have the maximum effect on the battlefield with the limited number of munitions on board the aircraft. The FCR is housed in a dome located above the main rotor mast. The APG-78 is capable of simultaneously tracking up to 128 targets and engaging up to 16 at once, and an attack can be initiated within 30 seconds. The datalink allows FCR data to be shared with other Deltas and allows them to coordinate attacks using fire zones. The FCR can target static targets out to 6 km and moving targets out to 8 km and be able to ripple fire AGM-114L radar-guided Hellfire missiles from behind cover. Combined with the creation and datalink sharing of Priority Fire Zones (PFZ), the FCR combined with the radar-guided Hellfires can engage a specified area and engage targets according to threat priority.

Following the release of GTM mode, other modes and capabilities will be added to this powerful force multiplier. [url=https://youtu.be/HJod9HL80Jc?si=AKhsJhC94sGpcUc6]Priority Fire Zones video[/url].
