Of special importance it is to take into account the wide use by aircraft of precision weapons directed to targets with known geodetic coordinates with the aid of a satellite radio navigation system to an accuracy of several meters and that includes individual elements within multiple targets. According to Nones, FlexNet translates site-specific x,y coordinates into geodetic coordinates that allow the location of resources to be determined both within a facility as well as on a global basis. Instead of the "see-and-kill" principle, precision navigation systems have made it possible to implement, if geodetic coordinates are known, the "fire-and-forget" principle or a more effective method of engaging a target. |
