Units at the NTC were challenged to boresight and initialize the targeting station control panel (TSCP). In order to obtain absolute and relative kinematic measurements during the pretraining and posttraining tests, the device was boresighted, where a particular relationship between the source and the sensor was chosen and considered the position of relative to this boresight position, the Isotrak device recorded the lumbar position as a negative angle. The MMS contains a suite of sensors, including a high-resolution television camera for long-range, low-light target detection, an upgraded thermal imaging sensor supporting navigation, target acquisition and designation, a laser rangefinder/designator to provide precise target location and guidance of Hellfire missiles and Copperhead artillery rounds, and a boresight assembly that provides in-flight sensor alignment. |
