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
