This report provides a method of evaluating the boresight retention capability of gun control systems mounted in combat vehicles. It describes equipment and instrumentation including installation of reference telescopes. It also includes angular measurements of deviations after vehicle operation over cross-country courses and primary and secondary roads; after firing; and after a period of elevated temperature in crew compartment. A procedure is provided for data reduction and analysis.
