PACS stands for which in the SMS lineup?

• A. Armament Control Set, Programmable
• B. Pacs (Programmable Armament Control Set)
• C. Program Armament Control Subsystem
• D. Primary Armament Control System

Answer: (B)

In the SMS lineup, PACS is the Programmable Armament Control Set. The key is the exact terminology used in the system’s documentation: it describes a modular unit that provides programmable control over weapon arming and release. The word order and the word “Set” are specific, so the correct designation is not “Armament Control Set, Programmable,” nor “Program Armament Control Subsystem,” nor “Primary Armament Control System.” Those don’t match the official name used for this component.
