'''Firing control''' is a generic [[United Nations Space Command]] term for any center or position referring to the operations of weapons systems aboard a [[warship]], such as a [[UNSC frigate]] or [[Orbital defense platform|Orbital Defense Platform]].<ref name="cairo">'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Cairo Station]]''</ref>

== UNSC starship firing control ==
The Firing Control Officer, or simply Weapons Officer, aboard a [[uNSC frigate|frigate]] or [[UNSC destroyer|destroyer]] is rank of [[Lieutenant]], like [[Aki Hikowa|Lieutenant Hikowa]] of the {{UNSCShip|Iroquois}}. They are in charge of [[Archer missile]] and [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] firing solutions.

== ''Cairo Station'' firing control ==
''Cairo Station'' firing control was the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] firing control station of ''[[Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station]]''. During the [[Battle for Earth]], [[Covenant]] [[Boarding|boarders]] invaded firing control, killing all the crew and [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] (except one who was hiding behind a set of stairs) stationed there and planted a large bomb planned to destroy the orbital station, similar to how the nearby ''[[Athens Station|Athens]]'' and ''[[Malta Station|Malta]]'' stations were destroyed. [[John-117]] and [[Cortana]] managed to disarm the bomb just in time (with seven seconds left) and later redeployed it to destroy [[Day of Jubilation|a]] [[Covenant assault carrier]].{{Ref/Reuse|cairo}}
