Fire Control Systems
Anti-Air FCS
Specialized pieces of equipment, the Anti-Air Fire Control Systems were designed to give pilots increased chances to tag flying or otherwise airborne units. They found limited acceptance on the battlefield due to a relative paucity of combat-rated aerial units, though it did find a home with anyone who regularly faced down Land-Air Mechs.

Targeting Computers
FCS Adv TC
Targeting Computers are sophisticated pieces of electronics that, unlike normal targeting systems, physically help MechWarriors target their opponents. Complex stablizers and calculation algorithms permit much more precise weapons fire, even breaching enemy defensive stances and permitting the precise targeting of mech components. This allows for more surgical precision of weapons fire, especially with naturally accurate systems.

Location Designator FCS
A highly specialized piece of equipment, the Location Designator FCS permits a 'Mech pilot to single out a location on an enemy unit and attempt to place heavy fire into that specific location. This ability is extremely coveted by pilots but comes with a cost. Because of the finely-tuned precision scanners, the Location Designator FCS does not track targets well. In practical terms, this means that the FCS permits general targeting of the location at the cost of accurate targeting of that location. Still, the trade-off is generally acceptable to pilots and the Location Designator FCS was an instant hit among MechWarriors.

Multi-Trac FCS
A specialized piece of equipment, the Multi-Trac Fire Control System was designed to give pilots on-the-fly multiple targeting capability. Based on the system found in the Thunderbolt, the Multi-Trac FCS proved a moderate success with pilots and was rolled out quickly to markets across the Inner Sphere.
