Each telescope is equipped with an illuminated reticle powered by dry cell batteries, enhancing visibility for rapid, accurate targeting.
Key Features:
Emergency Ground Fire Sighting System: The T34E1 sighting system enables manual targeting by allowing gunners to control azimuth and elevation through handwheels on the power control cases. This manual sighting capability is essential for emergency ground fire scenarios, providing accuracy when automated systems may be compromised.
Precision Optics for Azimuth and Elevation: The T34E1 system includes two telescopes: the T155 for azimuth sighting (left) and the T155E1 for elevation sighting (right). Both telescopes are mounted on a sturdy bracket straddling the gun tube, offering a reliable setup for manual gun-laying. The telescopes’ reticles are illuminated for improved sighting, ensuring accuracy in low-light conditions.
Flexible Design with Portability: The telescopes and their mounting brackets are easily detachable from the main support bracket and can be stowed in a carrying case, making this system both practical and versatile for field operations and storage. This portability allowed the sighting system to be quickly set up or stowed as needed, reflecting the Skysweeper’s adaptability.
