Boresight Equipment Testing Procedures

Abstract

As part of boresighting the 25-mm gun of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV), the turret technical manual (TM 9-2350-252-10-2) describes how to test the accuracy of the boresight telescope. However, BFV literature does not provide accuracy tests for the 25-mm boresight adapter or the 25-mm boresight kit (adapter plus telescope). This pamphlet describes testing procedures for the boresight telescope, 25-mm adapter, and kit. The kit test should be conducted prior to boresighting. Inaccurate kits should be reported through the chain of command to the battalion. When inaccurate kits are reported, master gunners conduct separate accuracy tests of telescopes and 25-mm adapters. Inaccurate telescopes and adapters are reported using the quality deficiency report. Accurate equipment is used to form accurate 25-mm Boresight kits. 7.62-mm Boresight kit, 25-mm Boresight adapter, Boresight kit field test, Boresighting, Bradley fighting vehicle, Quality deficiency reports.
