The Missile Fire Control System may be divided into four sub-systems, each
one of twhich is housed in separate spaces within th ship. They are the Weapons
Control Station, the MK 111 Fire Control Computer, the AN/SPG-49 Tracking/Acquisition
radars and their control modules, and the AN/SPW-2 guidance radars and their control
module. The focal point of the entirety of the Talos missile system is the weapons
control station. Here target information is processed by an array of radar
display/decision consoles and disseminated to the rest of the system. From here
missiles are brought onto the Talos launcher and fired.
Once a target has been designated to the system by weapons control, the giant SPg-49A
radars go out on the threat bearing to track their targets. Target information is
then relayed to the MK 111 computer which solves the Fire Control problem of interception
within seconds. Once a solution is available the SPW-2 guidance radars are enabled
to direct Talos to intercept.
