Abstract
Disclosed is a sighting system including a sighting device orientable with respect to a base, adapted to implement a simple and fast on-site calibration method. The sighting system includes for that purpose a cradle holding to the base a sighting device provided with a line of sight. The sighting system includes a first tilt sensor attached to the base, a second tilt sensor attached to the sighting device. The tilt sensors are connected to a central unit adapted to measure a difference between the measurements made by each tilt sensor, in such a way as to quantify a tilt angle between the base and the sighting device, without it being necessary to use a voluminous tool.
