The Battle Computer is a computer system located in the cockpit of every BattleMech. The battle computer is responsible for interpreting data received from the 'Mech's Targeting-Tracking System and Diagnostic Interpretation Computer, turning it into useful information which the MechWarrior can understand, and coordinating the overall movement and fire of the 'Mech in combat. When a pilot aims her reticle at a target and gives the command for a weapon to fire, it is the battle computer which carries out this order. The battle computer can also act as a back-up for the DI computer, though at a much-reduced efficiency.[1]
