FOBOS - missile launching control system
General Informations :
Fobos is compact and fast missile launching control system, that primarily was developed for RBS15 missile primarily (originally). It can control up to eight missiles, and can be installed on a ship or on a land vehicle.

Fobos System is composed of:
- Control computer unit - CU
- Missile fire control panel - MFCP
- Power distribution box - PWR
- Launcher switching unit - LSU
- Launcher power box - LPB
It can be used as a stand alone system (on board) or in a connection with the Deimos fire control system, which enables extended functionality providing detailed graphical display of tactical situation, missile target data tables and missile flight trajectory. Missile fire control panel can be stand alone unit or it can be integrated within Tactical Missile Console.
Launching parameters calculated by the FOBOS system are:
- Target range and bearing
- Yaw angle
- Time of flight
- Auto destruction time
- Missile flight profile
- Time from missile launching until the moment of the seeker start
SYSTEM STRUCTURE
Fobos control computer system
Fobos control system is a client-server computer architecture which performs all calculations, user control functions and target control functions. For its calculations Fobos computer receive data from ship or track sensors - course, speed, bearing, range, roll, pitch, wind. System communication with user interface equipment is performed by means of Ethernet LAN.
User interface
The Fobos Standard user interface is MFCP - Missile Fire Control Panel, integrated in the Tactical Missile Console-TMC. In a land vehicle Fobos installation, light computer terminal is used for this function.
Canister with missile
Missiles with canisters are mounted on the pedestal on the ship or on the truck. For connecting missiles with the Fobos system, interface module specific for missile type is used (LSU+LPB).
Note: Canisters with missiles are not PCE delivery.
