Targeting computer on a X-wing fighter
The IN-344-B "Sightline" holographic imaging system was a key component in several targeting computers manufactured by Fabritech, including the ANq 3.6 tracking computer found on Rebel Alliance T-65 X-wing starfighters, BTL-A4 Y-wing starfighters, and RZ-1 A-wing interceptors.
The device simplified what could be seen by the pilot, making computer-assisted targeting a much easier task. However, it also possessed a chance of causing a near-miss, as evidenced by Garven Dreis, the "Red Leader" of Red Squadron during the Battle of Yavin, firing off two proton torpedoes at the thermal exhaust port during the trench run upon getting a lock, but instead hit some yards away from the exhaust port.[1]
