Which sub-assembly sends recoil information to the mission computer for the 105mm if recoil exceeds 49 inches?

Which sub-assembly sends recoil information to the mission computer for the 105mm if recoil exceeds 49 inches?

• A. Optical Encoder
• B. Recoil Sensor
• C. Recuperator Cylinder
• D. Recoil Mechanism

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that the system uses a dedicated sensor to monitor how far the gun recoils and to feed that measurement to the mission computer. The recoil sensor is the component designed to detect the displacement of the recoiling assembly and convert it into an electrical signal that the computer uses to judge whether recoil is within safe and expected limits. When recoil exceeds the 49-inch threshold, this sensor sends a signal to the mission computer to trigger appropriate actions, such as safety interlocks or firing controls. Other parts play different roles. An optical encoder could measure position in some setups, but the standard recoil monitoring path for this system relies on the recoil sensor as the direct data source. The recuperator cylinder stores energy to help return the gun to its forward position and does not transmit recoil data to the computer. The recoil mechanism describes the moving parts involved in recoil itself, not the data-reporting element.
