Title: Meteorological Support (Accurate MET)
Dialogue: The launcher FCS uses all lines of the current computer met message to compute rocket firing data. Rockets are particularly sensitive to low level winds. Met messages usually are received in a digital secure mode from the controlling headquarters. They are routed through the battalion or battery FDS and sent to the FCS. The battery FDS sends met messages to all launchers and platoon FDSs simultaneously. The FDS interfaces directly with the MDS or MMS. Current met information can be obtain by communicating directly with the MDS on the met section net. The MDS is deployed down to FA brigades, while the MMS is used by light infantry, airborne and air assault division artilleries.
