=== 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.

=== FCS Apollo ===
 
 
 
Developed by the [[Draconis Combine]] to alleviate some of the issues with their Medium-Range Missile system, the Apollo system permits the use of Apollo ammo for [[Weapons#MRM|MRMs]], which provide some reasonable boosts over standard MRM munitions. Cannot be used with other [[TTS Missile|Missile TTS]] and enables using [[Ammunition#MRM|Apollo MRM ammo]].

=== FCS Artemis IV ===
 
 
 
While being a more regional Fire Control System, the adapted Artemis system greatly enhanced the Garret A99 capabilities, even above some of the other competitors on the market. Cannot be used with other Missile TTS and enables using Artemis IV Ammo.

=== 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.
