4.31.6 TADS Manual Servo Drift Null.
1. SLAVE switch Press and verify dotted cross-
hair is present on selected display (HOD or
HDD).
2. SIGHT SEL switch TADS.
3. Verify TADS turret slews to fixed forward posi-
tion by observing solid crosshair coming to cen-
ter of display and cueing LOS centering on cue-
ing dot.
4. SLAVE Switch Press.
5. Sensor select switch TV or FLIR. For greatest
accuracy, use TV.
6. Field-of-view select switch N.
7. Aim reticle at an easily observed object.
8. BRSIT ENABLE switch UP, wait 5 seconds
then adjust left and right thumbwheel controls
for drift null.
9. BRSIT ENABLE switch CENTER.
4.31.7 TADS Boresight.
WARNING
Ensure proper laser safety procedures
are followed.
NOTE
Boresighting of the DTV and FLIR narrow
and zoom fields-of-view occurs indepen-
dently; the actual order is not critical. How-
ever, DTV must be boresighted prior to
boresighting the DVO.
a.CUE Update Procedure.
NOTE
The CUE update procedure should be
accomplished whenever the TADS FLIR
is reported as being unable to be inter-
nally boresighted. Once the CUE update
procedure has been accomplished and
the TADS FLIR still cannot be bore-
sighted, continue with troubleshooting
as specified in TM 9-1270-476-20.
TADS internal boresight shall be per-
formed after a cue update procedure.
1. SIGHT SEL switch TADS.
2. Sensor select switch TV.
3. Field-of-view select switch W.
4. BRSIT switch TADS.
5. SLAVE switch Actuate. Verify internal bore-
sight message replaced by cue update mes-
sage.
6. If reticle does not appear centered on the black
cross, execute the following:
a. BRSIT ENABLE switch UP.
b. Use thumbforce controller to position DTV
reticle in proximity to the black cross.
c. BRSIT ENABLE switch CENTER.
d. SLAVE switch Actuate. Verify cue update
message replaced by internal boresight
message.
e. BRSIT TADS switch OFF. Procedure com-
plete, continue as desired.
b. TADS Internal Boresight.
NOTE
TADS internal boresight shall be performed
after performing a cue update, manual bore-
sight adjust, or after replacement of the fol-
lowing TADS components: TADS Electronic
Unit (TEU), Night Sensor Assembly (NSA),
Day Sensor Assembly (DSA), Laser Tran-
ceiver Unit (LTU), Television Sensor Assem-
bly (TV), or Boresight Assembly (BSA).
1. DTV
a. PLT/GND ORIDE switch As required.
b. CPG ARM/SAFE switch ARM.
c. SIGHT SEL switch TADS.
d. BRSIT switch TADS. Confirm INTERNAL
BORESIGHT message is present.
e. LSR switch ON.
f. Sensor select switch TV.
g. Field-of-view select switch N.
h. Tracker polarity white over black.
i. Laser trigger Press and hold.
j. BRSIT ENABLE switch UP. Observe
tracking gates capture laser spot. Continue
to fire laser until tracking gates disappear. If
spot cannot be captured by tracking gates,
perform manual boresight adjustment, para-
graph 4.31.7 d.
k. BRSIT ENABLE switch CENTER.
