SG2 Shareable (Fire Control) Software Suite (S4)

This product is known as the SG2 Shareable (Fire Control) Software Suite (S4) and is sometimes abbreviated as S4 when referenced.

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.

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.

[4] A number of papers and presentations have been published, such as a formal description of the early history of the suite[5] and a later presentation[6] in the International Symposium of Ballistics (ISB) forum sponsored by the International Ballistics Society (IBS).
