Modernized Target Acquisition Designation Sight (MTADS) Practice Exam

Which sensor is boresighted first during an internal boresight?

The DTV The FLIR The Radar The TGT/NAV

Correct Answer:

The DTV

Explanation:

Establishing a single reference axis for all sensors is the main idea here. The DTV provides a clear, stable daylight reference with a fixed optical axis, so it’s used first to set the baseline boresight. Once the DTV is aligned to the aircraft’s line of sight, the other sensors—like the FLIR, radar, and the target/navigation sensor—are aligned to that same reference. This guarantees that video and targeting cues from all channels line up correctly when you fuse imagery and designate targets. The FLIR and other sensors are then slaved to the DTV reference, which is why the DTV is boresighted first.
