Introduction

The fire control system on the Bradley fighting vehicle is the

sighting and weapons system that allows the crew to attack or defend

against the enemy. The fire control system is a sophisticated system

designed to provide the crew with efficient assault features to

defeat enemy armored vehicles, low-flying aircraft, gun emplacements,

and other similar targets.

Maintaining the vehicle's fire control

system is an important part of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle Systems

Mechanic's job.

This subcourse will provide a description of the boresighting

procedures for the five main components of the fire control system

and will explain the procedures for performing three tests on fire

control system components. This task is the first of the five tasks

in lesson 1 that addresses boresighting procedures.

Lesson 2 will

deal with tests on fire control system components using the STE-M1/

FVS simplified test equipment.
