System and method for using a portable near ir led light source and photogrammetry for boresight harmonization of aircraft and ground vehicle components

A system for harmonizing mounting provisions of a component in an aircraft or a land vehicle, comprising:

• a photogrammetric system including a computing system and a camera, coupled to the computing system wherein the computing system includes a database;
• and
• a portable near IR LED light source communicatively coupled to the computing system, wherein the portable near IR LED light source along with the photogrammetric system measures orientation and positional parameters of two or more fixed points and distances between the two or more fixed points, wherein the two or more fixed points are reference points within the aircraft or the land vehicle, wherein the photogrammetric system compares the measured orientation and positional parameters of the two or more fixed points and the distances of the two fixed points on the aircraft or the land vehicle with specified design parameters of the component, and wherein the photogrammetric system harmonizes the component based on an outcome of the comparison.
