Appl. No.:
12/754855
Inventors:
Paul Michael Koppie - Palm Harbor FL, US

Abstract:
A remote coordinate identifier system for an aircraft comprises a global positioning system (GPS) receiver onboard the aircraft, an inertial navigation system (INS) onboard the aircraft, a laser targeting system (LTS) onboard the aircraft, and a computer onboard the aircraft. The GPS receiver is configured to provide position information of the aircraft during flight. The INS is configured to provide inertial information of the aircraft during flight. The LTS is configured to provide angular information and distance measurements from the aircraft to an identified target during flight. The computer is configured to process the position information, the inertial information, the angular information, and the distance measurements to triangulate a position of the target. The computer determines map coordinates for the target from the triangulated position of the target.
