The FWCS or Fleet Weapons Coordination System, is a complex computer system designed and manufactured by Sverd Industries of The United Federation of Prizyetsa, which coordinates all weapons of a fleet, or section of a fleet, in order to make naval combat much more efficient and reduces the time needed to fire on an enemy target by up to 45% in some cases. The FWCS is, in basic terms, a simple AI program designed to act as a central hub which guides a fleet's weapons systems helping to reduce the manpower needed to coordinate an attack, and thereby lowering the time needed to launch weapons at any number of targets simultaneously.

The FWCS system's parent program, FSAP, or the Fleet Systems Automation Program, was started in the late 1990's and began on a number of projects, which were merged into the FWCS program in 2004. The program went on for a few years at the Admiralty in Vosonje before being relocated to the Vosonje Shipyards Group Research and Proving Grounds outside of Kunhavna, in Eastern Prizyetsa, where the program was finalized and testing began in 2006. All tests which were ran on the FWCS system were successful.

The FWCS system is capable of tracking up to 110 air and sea targets independently and cycling through a total of 13 different weapon systems from 20 vessels when wired to the ISATS system, however the FWCS system can be installed together with existing search and targeting radar systems.
