The ALENIA Mini-Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) System has the capability to perform different missions; one of the most useful missions is to provide real-time target acquisition (detection, recognition, identification and location) from the battlefield. When the target has been identified, the Mini RPV System within the GCS processes data arriving from the air vehicle and with the aid of digital terrain maps gives the target location by determining geographical coordinates and altitude. Target location is calculated using the vector from the air vehicle to the target and the RPV present position. The RPV to target vector information relative to air vehicle body coordinate is derived from sensor LOS data acquired using a stabilized platform. This platform permits target tracking irrespective of air vehicle motion. With present on-board electronics and digital terrain maps, the target location accuracy is approximately 50 meters CEP.
