Fire-control system developers and most of the international (primarily NATO) ballistics communities are familiar with the mature NATO Armaments Ballistic Kernel (NABK)[1] and other software component items that have emerged from the NABK development effort [2]. The collection of these software items has been enhanced into the “suite” of NATO shareable fire control software.
Significant development effort occurs in Aberdeen, Maryland, USA in the Firing Tables and Ballistics (FTaB)[3] Division, Armaments Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) with contributions from a variety of agencies within participating NATO nations.
