Boresighting - HiPAD

High Precision Alignment Devices

Our HiPADs

Highest precision – a proud heritage
The HiPAD boresight equipment carries on a proud heritage since it has been developed as the standard equipment for the renowned Leopard MBT-series and the SPH2000 self-propelled howitzer. One reason for the success of these weapon systems is their extraordinary accuracy. Made possible by the HiPAD boresight devices from Hensoldt Optronics.

Adjustable caliber bars
No weapon is like the other. Over time weapon barrels do not stay the same or manufacturing parameters can change. And these tiny differences affect the aiming accuracy. The HiPAD caliber bars use adjustable buffers to fit each barrel perfectly, providing a perfect alignment result -each time.
