1.10 EQUIPMENT FEATURES.
MV Measurement:
Accurately measures the muzzle velocity provided the
proper minimum/maximum expected muzzle velocity
range is transmitted by the AFCS.
System interface
Communicates with the AFCS (and thereby with
the operator) using a pre-defined protocol across a
MIL-STD-1553B communication interface.
Self-Test
Extensive built-in tests (BIT) which run upon startup to
detect system malfunctions.
