Abstract
An aiming system for a fire arm (3) mounted on an armored vehicle in which the gun can travel in elevation and in azimuth following two perpendicular directions, characterized in that the elevation bearing axis (Y'-O-Y) is located in a substantially horizontal plane, when the armored vehicle is standing on substantially horizontal ground, whereas the azimuth bearing axis (Z'-O-Z) is perpendicular to the elevation bearing axis (Y'-O-Y) and also perpendicular to the gun axis.
