MK46 MOD 1 Optical Sight System - Clermark

<strong>MK46</strong> <strong>MOD</strong> 1<br />

<strong>Optical</strong> <strong>Sight</strong> <strong>System</strong><br />

DESCRIPTION<br />

In the early part of the 90's Kollmorgen won the<br />

US Navy's competition for what is now called the<br />

<strong>MK46</strong> <strong>MOD</strong> 1 <strong>Optical</strong> <strong>Sight</strong> <strong>System</strong> (OSS). The<br />

system was developed and completed its full MIL-<br />

SPEC environmental qualification testing in early<br />

1993 and was designated the <strong>MK46</strong> <strong>MOD</strong> 0.<br />

The qualification testing included a MIL-S-901<br />

Grade A Shock Test. The <strong>MK46</strong> <strong>MOD</strong> 0 is<br />

installed on all USN Arleigh Burke class<br />

destroyers as well as the USS Yorktown (CG48).<br />

The modular design allows the system to be<br />

configured or upgraded to provide for special<br />

missions and to maintain the system as current<br />

state-of-the-art. In 1997 the USN and Kollmorgen<br />

began a series of upgrades to provide the<br />

operators with more capability including a new<br />

Eyesafe Laser Rangefinder, a new 3-5 micron<br />

Thermal Imaging Camera, a color television<br />

camera, and utilization of the standard UYQ-70<br />

Console. Other improvements include an<br />

upgraded azimuth motor, new automatic tracker,<br />

and the addition of automatic modes of operation.<br />

The <strong>MK46</strong> <strong>MOD</strong> 0 and now the <strong>MK46</strong> <strong>MOD</strong> 1 are<br />

"operational" and have proven their utility to the<br />

United States Navy.<br />
