The ABE is a universal angular measurement system to be used to boresight all USN/USMC aircraft. The ABE system shall be easily integrated with existing peculiar aircraft boresight adapters currently used on US Navy and Marine Corps fixed and rotary wing aircraft. The ABE system shall provide a reliable, user friendly method of measuring the orientation (pitch, yaw, and roll) of aircraft external stores and store stations, and internal aircraft component mounting points. These orientations shall be measured relative to the Aircraft Datum Line (ADL). These stores stations and internal mounting points may vary with each different aircraft model, but may include gun mounts, rocket and missile launch pylons, internal mounts for HUD (Head-Up Displays) and IMU/INS (Inertial Measurement Unit/Inertial Navigation Unit), antennas and optical sights. Additionally, the ABE system shall be capable of providing a collimated precision target, in both the visible and infrared light spectrums, that can be "viewed" by visible and infrared optical systems. Full functionality of the ABE system shall not require a physical Line-of-Sight between the ABE, the ADL (or ADL adapter) and the aircraft station being measured.
