Abstract
A boresight correction system is disclosed that determines the existing error between an aircraft gunsight and its gun systems while prescribed aircraft maneuvers are performed and which automatically corrects the gunsight system to compensate for this error. The system includes a sensor for detecting bullet positions, hardware that determines the bullet positions relative to the gun boresight, a digital processor to determine the above mentioned error, and to correct the gunsight system according to this error, and a non-volatile memory in the digital processor to store a corrected boresight position.
