Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1719969A1] The procedure consists of scanning an area of the terrain by a laser beam (10) on the munition or sub-munition (6), observing a potential target (1) from a passive observation unit (4), such as a drone (5), and delivering a confirmation order or range-finding information to the munition or sub-munition when the observation unit detects the laser beam, directing it onto the target. The munition or sub-munition cannot be fired at the target before the confirmation order is received.
