Kerrison Predictor
The Kerrison Predictor was one of the first fully-automated anti-aircraft predictors, Fire-control systems which would attempt to predict the correct aim at a plane based on simple inputs like the observed speed and angle to the target. Such devices had been used on ships for gunnery control for some time, and versions were also available for larger anti-aircraft guns, but the electromechanical Kerrison was the first to be fast enough to be used in the demanding high-speed low-altitude role.
