<br/><br/> The fire control problem can be defined as how to point a gun so that the fired  projectile will hit the target. This research aims to develop a new method of solving  the fire control problem for air-defense applications. This method is based on the  iterative numerical solution of the equations of motion of the projectile in real time  using a point-mass or a six-degrees-of-freedom ballistic trajectory model while  utilizing a complete aerodynamic model for the projectile obtained using PRODAS  software package. The effect of computational time on the hit accuracy and the  maximum targets speed that can be handled is also studied. The method is tested  using computer simulations against different target scenarios and successful hits are  obtained using a few iterations. The results also revealed the effect of computational  time on decreasing the hit accuracy and the targets maximum speed
