Abstract: For more than 40 years, the optically based M3 Borescope had served as the standard device for gun bore examination. Todays technology far surpasses its limited capabilities. The M3 has become difficult to supply with spare parts 40 years after the design was conceived. It relies heavily on operator expertise and can not easily record inspection findings. This paper describes how VBIS was developed to offer remedies for M3 shortcomings and, in addition, meet ERGM requirements. This paper explains the need for enhanced gun barrel inspection and reporting driven particularly by concerns raised by the ERGM program. It was uncertain what damage the ERGM round and propelling change would inflict on 5/62 caliber barrel surfaces.
