NATO Supply Class 1285 is a classification for Fire Control Radar Equipment, Except Airborne. It falls under NATO Supply Group 12, which is specifically for Fire Control Equipment.

Fire Control Radar Equipment refers to the technology and systems used for detecting, tracking, and controlling the firing of weapons, particularly in the context of military operations. This equipment is designed to enhance accuracy, range, and effectiveness of weapon systems by providing real-time information about targets, their location, and movement.

The NATO Supply Class 1285 includes various types of radar equipment used for fire control purposes, such as target acquisition radars, tracking radars, and fire control radars. These radars are typically used in ground-based or naval systems to support the engagement of targets with various types of weapons, including artillery, missiles, and naval guns.

It is important to note that the classification specifically excludes airborne fire control radar equipment. This means that the equipment in this class is not intended for use in aircraft or other airborne platforms.

Overall, NATO Supply Class 1285 plays a crucial role in ensuring the availability and standardization of fire control radar equipment, except airborne, for NATO member countries. It helps in facilitating interoperability and compatibility among different military systems and enhances the overall effectiveness of fire control operations.
