Optical Check Sight

The Optical Check Sight is a type of equipment that falls under the supply class Optical Sighting And Ranging Equipment in the supply group Fire Control Equipment.

The Optical Check Sight is used in fire control systems to verify the alignment and accuracy of other optical components, such as telescopes or periscopes. It is designed to provide a precise and reliable reference point for calibration and adjustment purposes.

The Optical Check Sight typically consists of a high-quality optical lens system mounted on a stable platform. It may also include features such as adjustable crosshairs or reticles to aid in alignment. The sight is usually equipped with fine adjustment mechanisms to ensure precise targeting.

When using the Optical Check Sight, operators can compare the alignment of other optical components against the reference point provided by the sight. Any discrepancies can then be corrected to ensure accurate targeting and ranging.

Overall, the Optical Check Sight plays a crucial role in maintaining the effectiveness and reliability of fire control systems by ensuring the proper alignment and calibration of optical components.
