The application relates to a target acquisition system (100) for an unmanned aircraft (106) according to an embodiment. The system comprises goggles (110) and the unmanned aircraft. The unmanned aircraft equipped with a camera (124) and a measuring unit (230) is configured to transmit location data (DS, KA, DE) related to a location (MS) of a target (102) to the goggles. The goggles are configured to form an augmented reality user interface (LK) by means of at least one goggle lens (212) for controlling the unmanned aircraft. The goggles equipped with an orientation detector (213) are configured to present to a wearer (108) of the goggles the location of the target as an augmented reality target object (MB) in the user interface based on the received target location data and an orientation (SA) of the goggles as detected by the orientation detector.
The application relates to a target acquisition system according to one embodiment for an indirect-fire weapon. The system includes a terminal device, a sensor unit for the terminal device, an unmanned aircraft and a control device for the aircraft. The terminal device is adapted to receive, from the control device-controlled aircraft, location data (LD, PW, DT, LT) related to a target's location (LT). The sensor unit is adapted to monitor the weapon's position. The terminal device is adapted to present, with a user interface unit, the target's location on the basis of the received location data and a calculated hit point (LH) for the weapon's projectile on the basis of the weapon's position. The terminal device is adapted to indicate, with the user interface unit, when the weapon has been aimed in such a way that, on the basis of its position, the projectile's calculated hit point is in alignment with the target's location, whereby, when the weapon is discharged, its projectile strikes the designated target
The application relates to a target acquisition system (100) for an unmanned aircraft (106) according to an embodiment. The system includes goggles (110) and an unmanned aircraft. The unmanned aircraft equipped with a camera (124) is configured to transmit video (VD, VA) captured by it to the goggles. The goggles are configured to form an augmented reality user interface (LK) by means of at least one goggle lens (212) for controlling the unmanned aircraft. The goggles user interface is configured to display received video. The goggles equipped with an eye tracker (214) or motion tracker (216) are configured to receive a target acquisition (MA) performed by the user (108) using eye control (SO) or motion control (LO) by a hand (118) for a target (102) visible in video (VA) displayed in the user interface and to send the target acquisition to the armed unmanned aircraft.
