This article investigates modern methods of using unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) for high-precision target positioning by relying on known landmarks in military operations. Drones today not only provide real-time data collection but also perform navigation, reconnaissance, and target designation, which significantly enhance the speed and accuracy of tactical decision-making. In combat situations, where errors may lead to serious consequences, the integration of drones with accurate telemetry calculations and coordinate computations becomes a critical factor in mission success. The study aims to minimize errors and ensure precise positioning through the analysis of telemetry data, flight altitude, camera tilt angle, and compass errors.
The results demonstrate that correcting compass magnetic errors and adjusting altitude and tilt angle parameters significantly reduce deviations in target coordinates. The use of specialized software further enhances automation and accuracy of calculations.
The scientific novelty of this research lies in the systematic integration of telemetry data with new error correction methods, including innovative approaches to compass calibration and altitude-based distance measurement. The practical significance is the improvement of reconnaissance efficiency, target designation, and operational planning for military units using drones. The proposed methods enable precise object positioning, optimize navigation, and increase decision-making effectiveness in complex operational environments.
