Paper Abstract
In the design of military optical systems there frequently exists conflicts among requirements for high performance or precision, size and weight, and the ability to withstand harsh environments. The AN/GVS-5 Hand Held Laser Rangefinder developed for the U.S. Army is a good example of such a system comprising precise alignment of three optical axes in a five pound, field deployed equipment. Final success of the program was the result of innovative design, careful material selection, and attention to detail in manufacture and process control.
