If possible, we want to take out the human error of a person controlling the hood angle and have that done automatically.

Your design looks remarkably similar to ours! Great minds think alike! Our turret, angle of elevation, and speed of shooter will all be software controlled. Our programmers have been working on target recognition very hard, and I think they have it down. I'll mention this thread and have them comment.
