Jet fighters move so fast that the pilot has only a few seconds for firing, and human eyes and brains cannot be depended upon to select those seconds unfailingly. The radar gunsight (still under thick wraps) makes all the calculations automatically. It tracks the target, measuring its distance, direction and relative speed.
