FM 3-22.1Figure 6-19, page 6-21, shows where to position the reticle for a target at that range.Figure 6-20, page 6-21 shows the front and flank sight pictures of a BMP beyond2,000 meters.(c) On ODS Bradleys, he cannot use the ELRF with the TOW selected. Before he canuse the TOW, he must determine the maximum engagement range. To do it himself, hemust either switch to another weapon system, determine the range, and reselect TOW; orhe must ask a wingman vehicle to get that information for him. Figure 6-21, page 6-22,shows the sight picture of a TOW target at maximum engagement range (3,750 meters)as it would look through the 25-mm reticle.(6) Range Card. (See Chapter 8.)(7) ELRF. This applies only to Bradley ODS and A3 models.(8) Reticles. When using the Bradley A3 IBAS reticle and CIV reticle, the crew canselect the default reticle, gun reticle, air-defense reticle, and horizontal-ranging stadiathrough the CTD (Figure 6-16, page 6-19).(a) The crew uses the horizontal-ranging stadia and gun reticles on Bradley A3 todetermine target distance. They determine range either by choking the ground to the topof the vehicle's hull with the ranging stadia, or by using the gun reticle and mil relation.(b) Figure 6-21, page 6-22, shows the reference markings on the Bradley A3 defaultreticle. These marks measure 1.2, 1.3, 2.5, and 5 mils (Figure 6-22, page 6-22). Thistechnique does not call for the use of reference marks 13.72 and 12.38.(c) Figure 6-23, page 6-23, shows how to determine the maximum engagement rangefor the TOW using the A3 gun reticle.(d) Figure 6-24, page 6-23, shows a TOW sight picture of a target at its maximumengagement range (3,750 meters).(e) Table 6-2, page 6-13 (mil relation for various targets), provides a quick referencefor determining the range to threat vehicles.NOTES: 1. On both the IBAS and CIV, the gun reticle, air defense reticle, andhorizontal ranging stadia display only in high magnification on theDay TV and FLIR.2. On the IBAS, the DVO sight displays the selected reticle in both high andlow magnifications (IBAS only).3. On Bradley A3 vehicles, crewmembers can use the ELRF with theTOW selected.6-16
