Bore Elevation and Azimuth Measurement System (Beams)

The U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) engineers from the Fire Control Systems and Technology Directorate at Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey developed, tested, and placed into practical application the Bore Elevation and Azimuth Measurement System (BEAMS). The BEAMS provides a means to accurately measure the pointing ability of fire control for mortars, artillery, and other weapon platforms.
