Abstract
A collimator mounting assembly adapted for attachment to a missile launcher having a pivot member, called a traversing unit, at the apex of a tripod, that is adapted to replace a horizontally-oriented missile launching tube on the pivot member, and includes a mechanism for attaching the collimator mounting unit to the traversing unit, and adjustable tilt, azimuth, and elevation-controllable support plates for a tubular, horizontally-oriented collimator. This assembly permits the optical axis of the collimator placed atop the assembly to be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the missile launch tube, and permits referencing the collimator optical axis to the boresight of the missile launch tube.
