A generic Anti Aircraft Machine Gun (AAMG) is not an optical system. So, if you mean optical system as an automatic visual tracking and fire control system, then yeah an AAMG may be fitted with such fire solutions; furthermore, an AAMG with such a system may have a higher EW than an AAMG without an "optical system" as discussed here.
From the GG:
"For AA vehicles and units, and planes defending against them, the ratio between firer and target plane EW is very important. If the target electronic defences 'win' then the firer hit chance will be reduced."
Additionally, Vision can have significant consequences as well. An optical system may then refer to Vision as per the GG:
"If fitted, enhanced night vision equipment,with a value of 40 or greater representing a Thermal Imager or a Ground Surveillance Radar (TI or GSR). If game visibility is say 3 hexes, and you have a vision capacity of 12, you can see 9 hexes further than unaided units, which can be vital and devastating. TI and GSR can see through smoke as well, another vital advantage when the opponent lacks this capability..."
