Boresighting Configurations, Procedures
And Applications
Get What You Aim For!
PLX’s new Boresighting
Verification Technology dramatically enhances your targeting capabilities.
Boresighting refers to the procedure of aligning hardware line-of-sight to an aiming
device. In military and aerospace
terms, this can apply to applications such as weaponry, from small rifles to
artillery, tank and aircraft fire control systems, or long-range cameras
mounted on satellites.
The technology utilizes
PLX’s proprietary, high-accuracy, beam-delivery system. This new capability enables you to verify the
alignment of your hardware’s optical axis and your aiming device with sub-arc
second accuracy. PLX can build
these systems to operate with great stability, even under the extremely harsh
levels of vibration and shock encountered in military and aerospace
applications. At PLX, we
specialize in customizing our proprietary optical technology (as illustrated
below) to meet challenging technical requirements within a wide range of
applications.
