Portable assembly for artillery observer
STERNA-V is portable assembly for targets acquisition and for data securing needed for fire control. It consists of north pointed gyroscope STERNA-TNF, optical device Leica Vector 21 Nite to define target distance and tripod. Own position necessary to the target position defining could be entered manually or gained from GPS receiver.
Purpose
STERNA-V is determined for target detection, reconnaissance, identification and complex acquisition during artillery reconnaissance in frame of effective and fast firing support and military forces protection in combat area. It is possible to use STERNA-V both autonomously in frame of BMS (BVIS) and in frame of superior assembly (LOV-Pz, LOS-M, Sněžka-M). STERNA-V enables automated calculation of target coordinates or detonation and data transfer (target coordinates, target description including) to the superior level.
