Feuerleitgerät 63 Superfledermaus at the Flieger-Flab-Museum

The fire control unit 63 from Contraves Super Fledermaus (Flt Gt 63) is an omnidirectional pulse radar device that from 1965 to 1977 was in use bye the Swiss Air Force in 111 pieces. The Super Fledermaus fire control system was jointly developed and produced by ten companies. It replaced the Fire control radar Mark VII.

Function

The Flt Gt 63 simultaneously controls two Oerlikon 35 mm twin cannon anti-aircraft guns. It monitors the radar airspace, followed by radar or visually the target to be controlled and determined in real time and real time transmitting the firing data for the connected guns . Referring to the optical (OZ) targets can be the straightener allocated directly. The target allocation of radar target assignment (ZZR) is an oral radio or telephone transmission to the Parallaxcomputer operator, who inputs the data into the device. It comprises on a towed trailer, a Doppler radar in the E / F-band with a range of 15 kilometers and a pulse Doppler Rader in the J band, also with 15 kilometers range. In the first prototype of the Flakpanzer Gepard it was also used.

Feuerleitgerät / Flt Gt 69 Superfledermaus

Fire Control Unit/ Flt Gt 69 Superfledermaus The fire control unit Flt Gt69 based on the Flt Gt 63 and was from 1970 to 1985 in 38 numbers in the Swiss Air Force at the M FLPL flab Bttr (Mobile Airfield flab batteries) in use.

• Pulse radar level characters suppression
• Three optical target detectors (OZ)
• other data such as Flt Gt 63

The Flt Gt63 and the Fl Gt69 were replaced in the Swiss Air Force by the Skyguard fire control system.
