A method for automatically generating a three-dimensional reference model as terrain information for a seeker head of an unmanned missile. A three-dimensional terrain model formed from model elements obtained with the aid of satellite and/or aerial reconnaissance is provided. Position data of the imaging device at least at one planned position and a direction vector from the planned position of the imaging device to a predetermined target point in the three-dimensional terrain model are provided. A three-dimensional reference model of the three dimensional terrain model is generated that incorporates only those model elements and sections of model elements from the terrain model, which in the viewing direction of the direction vector from the planned position of the imaging device, are not covered by other model elements and/or are not located outside the field of view of the imaging device.

Method for automatically generating a three-dimensional reference model as terrain information for an imaging device

A method for determining the position data of a target object in a reference system from an observation position at a distance. A three-dimensional reference model of the surroundings of the target object is provided, the reference model including known geographical location data. An image of the target object and its surroundings, resulting from the observation position for an observer, is matched with the reference model. The position data of the sighted target object in the reference model is determined as relative position data with respect to known location data of the reference model.

Method for determining position data of a target object in a reference system

A SAR image recorded by a reconnaissance system is transferred as a reference edge image together with the data of the trajectory as a reference. The signal of the infrared seeker head of the missile is converted into a virtual SAR edge image and compared to the SAR reference image to calculate the precise position of the missile.
