The system allows concurrent maintenance without the need for the aircraft to be jacked and levelled during the boresight procedure.

AAI Test &#38 Training senior vice-president and general manager Bob Peters commented that the system provided warfighters with the required data to ascertain the mission readiness of their critical avionics and armament systems.

The US Air Force, Army, Marine Corps and Navy, along with several allied nations, also use the system for both weaponised and cargo aircraft during tactical and peacetime missions.
