MV Measurement: Accurately measures the muzzle velocity provided the proper minimum/maximum expected muzzle velocity range is transmitted by the AFCS. System interface Communicates with the AFCS (and thereby with the operator) using a pre-defined protocol across a MIL-STD-1553B communication interface. Self-Test Extensive built-in tests (BIT) which run upon startup to detect system malfunctions. 1.11 EQUIPMENT PERFORMANCE.
