An Nd-YAG laser rangefinder incorporated in the sight enables the commander to engage targets and to fire on the move. Indicators in the commander’s sight right eyepiece show the position of the sight axis, and the gun axis. Fire-control information from the computer and laser is displayed on the left eyepiece. When used in the surveillance mode the commander has the facility to align his main sight with any one of his six periscopes. This is achieved by pushing a button mounted under each periscope.
