Abstract
Systems and methods can be utilized to align or provide targeting for a platform. One alignment system and method can receive first electronic data indicative of attitude of the platform and can receive second electronic data related to a position on the platform. The alignment system and method can provide third electronic data indicative of an adjusted attitude of the platform in response to the first electronic data and a slope vector or terrain data. The targeting system and method can use position differencing between a platform and a remote observer to aim at a target.
