The fire control radar Mark VII determined in the following operation, the measuring point elements, side angle, position angle and distance of flight destinations for the calculation of the necessary conditions for shooting with the heavy anti-aircraft shooting elements, side elevation and temperature by the predictor 43/50R. There was an automatic data transmission to the predictor 43/50R. It is also possible, with the fire control radar Mark to receive and process data of the target allocation VII radar TPS -1E.
