Abstract

This TOP prescribes procedures for evaluating the operational performance of optical-mechanical sighting systems used for laying the major armament of towed and self propelled artillery; and the effect of shock, vibration, and environmental conditions on sighting system performance. Parameters are: (a). Direct- and indirect-fire sighting systems are covered; (b) . Static (shop) and dynamic (firing and road) tests are included; (c).
