And z-direction is assumed to be the
boresight direction of the antenna.
When fixed, the scale rotates around the
boresight.
In those cases, a Soldier can only take the weapon, perform a functions check, clean it if necessary and then
boresight it once on a range.
These sheets accompany each missile during every step in the process: induction, leak and flow,
boresight, rate table, final assembly, and the clean room.
As shown in Figure 2, a rotating antenna has a gain pattern that is a function of the angle from the antenna
boresight.
As an example, satellite trackers, the most stringent, require controlled performance for insertion loss, G/T measurements, side lobes, and
boresight error, while others are more forgiving.
In Enduring Freedom, for example, members of my A-10 squadron deployed without having had the opportunity to
boresight their aircraft's guns.
I began to weave and slow the aircraft to get spacing while simultaneously selecting the dogfight mode to get an Air Combat Maneuver (ACM)
boresight lock on lead.

Just as a tank crew must
boresight its weapon system, you must perform predeployment operational tests on your Ml systems as well.
But mounting pods on AH-6s invalidates
boresight alignment and degrades their accuracy.
Tube-loading also produces more accurate rockets by keeping the rocket-pod
boresight aligned.
