The system can be used for direct or indirect fire, and requires no electrical power. It has slipping scales incorporated for ease of orientation and change of aiming points, and has a rugged design for maximum reliability in harsh conditions.

The Artillery Sighting System comprises of three main components:

  • L3A1 Dial Sight Carrier

Additionally the Fire Control Quadrant and Sight Carrier Boresight are required for instrument alignment with the gun barrel.

The optional Beacon Dial Sight can attached to the L7A1 Dial Sight and be used to allow other guns on the gun position to orientate themselves using a particular gun as a reference point, especially in low light conditions.
