    How are ITB units shooting at night? AIMSS QUAL STANDARDS


    Most meet 17 out of 40 hits; many are shooting in the mid 30’s. (Ref FM 3-22.9, FM 3-22.68)
    a. Factor 1: The ambient conditions, •M16/M4s DAY:23/40 NIGHT:17/40
    illumination and weather. •M249/M240s DAY:7/11 NIGHT:7/11
    b. Factor 2: How well the cadre and •TWS standards: Day and night tables are
    drill sergeants are trained. the same for all weapons

    Critical Factors in AIMSS Training 10 Meter Boresight Tgt-AN/PEQ-2A Mtd on M4


    MWS Right Side Rail w/spacer and Pic.Rail Grabber

    - Boresighting the Optics and LASER Aiming Devices


    - Borelight is key. Laser Bore Light
    0,0

    - Stable platform for weapon w/ borelight is critical; you cannot hold the weapon
    steady enough to get a good zero. AN/PEQ-2A

    - Cheek-to-stock weld is key to CCO boresighting (CCO is parallex free beyond 50M). MILES LASER
    L2.0, U0.9
    FLOOD
    R6.3, D.04

    - Proper target offsets must be used.


    - Zero the borelight to each weapon. AN/PEQ-2A
    R6.3.5, D4.4

    - NVG Use/Proficiency: Ensure proper NVG use.


    - Ensure kevlar proper fitting: use snug fit/nape strap or parachutist retention straps.Zero Target Data for M4 MWS
    1. Stabilize Weapon.
    2. Align Laser Borelight on it’ s dot.
    10 Meter Bore Sight Target for 300m Zero
    (13 Dec 99)

    - Set interpupillary distance for individual eye width for proper field of view.
    3. Adjust AN/PEQ-2A until aiming l aser is
    centered on the dot cross hair.
    US Army ARDEC
    AMSTA-AR-CCL-A
    AMSTA-AR-FSF-R

    - Set eye relief-defogging and noise & light discipline. Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806
    Grids are 1cm wide by 1 cm high. Units must locally m anufact ure.

    - Adjust diopters-adjusts eye to focus on intensified image nearest to your eye.


    - Adjust objective focus ring-adjusts focus range farthest from your eye. In this order
    - Adjust variable gain-to get the most detail move the wheel midway out on the tube.
    - Refine adjustments.
    - As light and range factors change, adjust objective focus ring and variable gain.
    - Adjust eye cups to remedy lens fogging.
    - Offsets
    -Consider standardized mounting configurations to reduce the number of different offset targets required
    for zeroing.
    - Use only USAIC-approved target offsets on the AIMSS CD.
    - Device Characteristics: Reference FM 3-22.9, for system specifics.
    - Training Ranges: Maintain a boresight/reboresight station at all ranges.

    Common Problems To Avoid


    -AN/PAQ-4Cs & AN/PEQ-2As: Insight and Picatinny rail grabbers being used without changing offsets.
    -Tool Tightened: The insight rail grabber must be tool tightened in order to retain zero.
    -Remote triggers: The insight rail grabber needs the remote trigger to activate. Remote triggers are breaking.
    -Offsets: Not using the proper offset for the rail grabber being used; be specific and exact.
    -Borelight: The borelight is not being zeroed to each weapon.
    -Borelight Kit: Not using the 10M measuring line (in the borelight kit) or proper distance for boresighting.
    -NVGs: Not knowing how to properly adjust all NVGs--“near knob– far knob – middle knob.”
    -Weapons Racks: Many weapons racks cannot accommodate the Army’s small-arms weapons with AIMSS
    equipment mounted; To retain zero, track each optic/laser to each weapon; do not separate the device
    from the rail grabber, remount each optic/laser exactly where it was on the rail.
    -Modified Firing Position: Required to establish a stable firing platform.
    -Not Having a Training Plan: Marksmanship with lasers and advanced optics requires a plan and additional
    training to be effective and maximize the power of the technology for Army transformation.
