The US Navy has awarded a contract to electronics manufacturer Orbit International Corporation for its mk119 gun computer system cabinet (GCSC) and mk437 gun mount control panels (GMCP).
The mk119 GCSC is an unmanned, environmentally isolated shipboard enclosure that houses a standard 19in electronics rack containing processors, electronic devices, cooling and power conditioning equipment to perform processing, interfacing and data extraction functions.
The mk160 gun computer system (GCS) is a system that receives target data from shipboard sensors to compute a ballistic solution through which it provides gun orders and selects projectile types.
The mk437 GMCP is a significant subsystem component that supports the mk160 GCS. It includes custom fabricated enclosures; commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) and non-developmental items (NDI) components.
