Aimpoint BR8
A Fire Control System for Small Arms
![Page 2: Aimpoint BR8 A Fire Control System for Small Arms · 4 MOA red dot 8 NVD settings and 8 daylight settings 70,000 hours of operation (on setting 12 of 16) on a single battery AA 1.5](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042312/5edaf6ff09ac2c67fa6897de/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Reasons for missing the target
Operator influence (e.g. shooting position, estimation of distance to target, breathing, aiming, trigger control)
External influence(e.g. ballistical trajectory, wind speed and direction, temperature)
Target (e.g. visibility, motion)
Time (e.g. duration for operation of weapon system)
Phit
Weapon System(e.g. dispersion)

Most important influence
● Operator ● Distance to target together with
ballistic trajectory

Swedish FCS development● Trials with AGL’s with different FCS’s,
and a market study have shown that currently there is no simple, lightweight, robust and affordable FCS available.
● Sweden has therefore decided to develop a FCS with industry for use with underslung grenade launchers, AGL’sand 84mm Carl Gustaf recoilless rifles.
● A PDF study was done in 2002.● A development contract was placed with
Aimpoint in 2005.● Delivery of prototypes in 2007.

Aimpoint BR8 - Background
● Fully integrated Sight and Fire Control System
● Suitable for a variety of weapons where ballistical correction to improve range performance and PHit/PKill is essential
● Prepare system for additional functionalities as technology matures

Potential● A very large number of grenade launchers with
very poor sight systems are in operative use (M203, AG36, XM320….)
● A large number of Automatic Grenade Launchers are in operative use (Mk 19, Mk47, GMG…..)
● A large number of Heavy Machine Guns are in operative use (M2, M3……)
● A substantial number of Infantry Support Weapons are in use (Carl Gustaf…..)
