A system consisting of a transportable collection of tactical equipment such as a computer, optical mechanical scanner, digital controller, transillumination device, and the like, which is used to provide an electronic computation of elevation data, geographical latitude and longitude values, and coordinates for target locating and identifying offset aiming points, target acquisition devices, and artillery survey control.
Additional Information for Analytical Photogrammetric Positioning System
Analytical Photogrammetric Positioning System (APPS) is a type of equipment that falls under the supply class Fire Control Designating And Indicating Equipment in the supply group Fire Control Equipment.
APPS is a sophisticated system used in fire control applications, particularly in military and defense settings. It utilizes photogrammetry, which is the science of making measurements from photographs, to accurately determine the position and coordinates of targets or objects of interest.
By analyzing multiple aerial or satellite images, APPS can triangulate the position of targets with high precision. This information is crucial for fire control operations, as it allows for accurate targeting and engagement of enemy assets.
APPS is often integrated into larger fire control systems, such as artillery or missile systems, to enhance their effectiveness and accuracy. It provides real-time data on target positions, allowing operators to make informed decisions and engage targets with greater efficiency.
Overall, APPS plays a vital role in fire control operations by providing accurate positioning information, improving target acquisition, and enhancing the overall effectiveness of fire control systems.
