Abstract
In an integrated laser/FLIR rangefinder wherein the laser is injected into the visible optic path for transmission, a laser boresight mechanism comprises a light source for producing a light target, optic means for projecting the light target along the optical path of the laser beam, a switchable laser boresight retroreflector cube for switching into the visible optic path to reflect the light target back through the visible light optic path to the telescope field of view, and manual adjustment means for adjusting the optic means for aligning the light target and the recticle line of sight.
