  1. Remember, time of flight is 11 seconds plus one second for trigger pull (regardless of range). That means 12 seconds or more to kill with a TOW!
  2. And, did you know that it takes seven or more blinks of the CVKI light to represent a kill? Four to six blinks represent a hit, but not a kill. One to three blinks indicate a near miss.
  3. Here's a tip on the 25mm: During operation, jarring and vibration may cause you to lose your boresight. If this occurs, this "G pattern" (see Figure 2) is an effective method of engagement with the 25mm.
  4. Don't forget that smoke, dust, fog, or anything that impairs your vision will decrease the range and effectiveness of the MILES.


FIGURE 2. THE "G" PATTERN

  • The "G" pattern allows you to quickly place the strike of the MILES laser beam on the target if your 25-mm boresight has slipped.
  • Point No. 1 is the initital point of aim. If no kill, points No. 2 through 5 are subsequent points of aim.
  • Hold each position for a full burst.
  • If kill is verified, align reticle to center of mass of target.
  • If still no hit, reverify boresight and trouble-shoot MILES.
