The essential thing the Fire Direction Center sends to the guns is the exact data needed to aim and fire the weapon: the firing data comprised of azimuth, range, and elevation, plus the explicit orders to fire according to the computed fire plan (CFF). These elements let the gun crew know where to point, how far to shoot, and how to adjust or time the shot, all in line with the established fire plan. Target sketches and weather updates help the FDC compute that data, but they aren’t the direct instruction handed to each gun. Simply knowing the number of rounds and fuze settings isn’t enough without the aiming data and the firing orders. Observed impact reports come back after firing, not as the instruction sent to the guns.
