Overview
Product and Purpose
TDG-FCP-101 is a weapon system firing control panel: a compact control box that mounts flush in the operator console and puts the three controls a firing sequence needs onto one front face. The operator has a guarded emergency stop, a three-position mode selector and a covered safe/arm switch within one hand's reach, below the console displays.
Each switch state leaves the panel as a discrete signal through a single MIL-DTL-38999 connector on the rear face, so the panel connects to the system computer with one cable. The panel is designed and manufactured by TEDEG in Ankara. The photos show a unit built for a customer programme; the front-face legends follow that order.
Engineering Capability
The layout is built around deliberate action. The emergency stop sits inside a fixed mechanical guard that prevents accidental actuation but leaves the button reachable with a palm. The mode selector is a three-position rotary switch (OFF / STANDBY / FIRE on the unit shown). The safe/arm switch is a toggle under a hinged cover: the cover has to be lifted before the switch can be moved to the armed position.
The enclosure is aluminium with a flanged front panel and four mounting holes; the panel operates from 18–32 VDC and is designed to MIL-STD-1275E vehicle power.

Customisation
The panel is a platform-specific build. These are set per project:
- Number and type of switches, and their positions on the front face
- Legend wording and language
- Connector type, contact arrangement and orientation
- Enclosure colour and mounting hole pattern
Typical Applications
- Weapon system operator consoles on land and naval platforms
- Ground control stations, below the operator displays
- Training and test consoles that need the same switch layout as the operational system
The TEDEG Advantage
TEDEG builds the enclosure, front panel, wiring harness and marking in-house, so a panel can be matched to an existing console cut-out and connector plan instead of the console being adapted to a catalogue part. The same team builds the Mil-Drive HCU-400 pendant control unit and the PowerGuard RCU-01 remote control unit. All vehicle electronics are in the Vetronics category; use the quote form to send your switch list and console drawing.

FAQ
What is a firing control panel?+
It is the operator's hardware panel for a weapon system: the physical switches that select the system mode, arm it and stop it in an emergency. It works alongside the console software and gives the operator controls that cannot be actuated by accident.
How is accidental actuation prevented?+
The emergency stop sits inside a fixed mechanical guard, and the safe/arm toggle is under a hinged cover that has to be lifted before the switch can be moved to the armed position.
How does the panel connect to the system?+
Through one MIL-DTL-38999 Series III circular connector on the rear face. Each switch state is available on it as a discrete signal.
What supply voltage does it need?+
18–32 VDC. The panel is designed to MIL-STD-1275E vehicle power.
Can the switches and legends be changed?+
Yes. Switch count and type, legend wording and language, connector and enclosure colour are set per project.
Is "firing control panel" the same as a fire alarm control panel?+
No. A fire alarm control panel belongs to a building fire detection system. TDG-FCP-101 is an operator control panel for a weapon system.
