Abstract

A platform configured to acquire images and/or radio signals and to be carried by lightweight aircraft includes housing structure that houses an acquisition sensor to acquire still and/or moving images and radio signals receivers to acquire radio signals. The housing is configured to be coupled to light aviation aircraft. Sensing data is provided from a position and motion sensing unit coupled to the sensor. The processing structure controls and/or programs, on the basis of the received sensing data, each sensor to enable the sensor to acquire images and/or radio signals when the sensor is in a determined position and is subject to oscillations below a maximum velocity value. A rate of variation of actual aiming of the sensor is not larger in absolute value than a respective maximum value of offset variation rate with respect to an ideal aiming, so as to ensure focusing on an aimed area.
