Abstract

A method and apparatus for adjusting an aiming telescope and a laser range finder with a weapon system which is equipped with a weapon computer, a data memory and a computer-controlled graticule adjusting device. Laser beams are fired consecutively by a collimation line testing device and by the laser range finder, into a collimator. A reference reticle or an aiming graticule of the aiming telescope are aligned with the laser beam images in the collimator, and the aligned position is stored in the data memory.
