NATO Supply Class 1280 refers to the category of Aircraft Bombing Fire Control Components within NATO Supply Group 12, which is dedicated to Fire Control Equipment.

Aircraft Bombing Fire Control Components are essential elements of the fire control system used in aircraft for accurate and effective bombing operations. These components are responsible for controlling and coordinating the release of bombs from an aircraft, ensuring precise targeting and timing.

Some examples of Aircraft Bombing Fire Control Components include:

1. Bomb Release Mechanisms: These mechanisms are responsible for releasing bombs from the aircraft at the desired time and location. They can be mechanical, electrical, or electronic in nature, and are designed to ensure the safe and accurate release of bombs.

2. Bomb Sights: Bomb sights are optical devices used by the aircraft crew to visually align the target with the aircraft's position. They provide the necessary information for accurate bomb targeting and release.

3. Bombing Computers: Bombing computers are electronic devices that calculate and provide the necessary data for accurate bombing operations. They take into account various factors such as aircraft speed, altitude, wind speed, and target coordinates to determine the optimal release point for the bombs.

4. Bombing Control Panels: These panels are the interface between the aircraft crew and the fire control system. They allow the crew to input commands and monitor the status of the bombing operation. The control panels may include switches, buttons, displays, and other user interface elements.

It is important to note that NATO Supply Class 1280 specifically focuses on the components related to aircraft bombing fire control. These components are designed to meet NATO standards and are used by member countries for their military aircraft.

By categorizing these components under NATO Supply Class 1280, it becomes easier for member countries to identify, procure, and maintain the necessary equipment for their aircraft's fire control systems.
