Once targets are bound to a unit in Skymap, they are automatically synchronized with the SkyHunter interface.
Data transfer occurs in real time, so newly created or reclassified objects should appear on the SkyHunter map without any additional action from the operator.

After synchronization, the target:

  • is displayed on the map;
  • receives the corresponding status (friendly/hostile);
  • becomes available for further binding to a UAV;
  • can be used by tracking and interception algorithms.

Binding a UAV to a Target

After a hostile target appears on the map, the next step is to assign an interceptor drone to it. If a UAV is present in the area that is:

  • active;
  • not executing another mission;
  • not bound to any target,

the SkyHunter system can automatically suggest binding the target to an available UAV. This mechanism simplifies the operator's work and speeds up the response to a threat.

You can also bind a target to a UAV manually. To do this, click on the hostile aircraft and click on the small aircraft icon located between our UAV and the hostile aircraft.

After successful binding:

  • a dashed line appears between the UAV and the target;
  • the system records the connection in the crew log;
  • a new item appears in the upper part of the UAV's radial menu — Unbind target.

The Unbind target command allows:

  • canceling the interception;
  • changing the target;
  • freeing the UAV for a new mission.

Launching the Mission

After binding the target, you can start the interception mission.

To launch:

  1. Click on the UAV.
  2. In the radial menu, press Arm (Launch).

After activation:

  • the drone enters the armed state;
  • the engines start;
  • automatic altitude gain begins;
  • the target tracking algorithm is activated.

The interceptor drone switches to automatic mode and begins moving toward the target according to the selected navigation type and interception algorithm.

During flight, the system:

  • adjusts the trajectory in real time;
  • accounts for the target's speed and direction of movement;
  • displays current telemetry;
  • maintains the ability for manual operator intervention if necessary.
