Introduction

Normally, manned acquisition requires two operators: a sensor-operator and a pilot/driver. The sensor operator will run SpatialExplorer on a laptop to control and monitor the sensors as usual. In addition, lines/paths/line strings from KML/KMZ files can be imported and converted to flightlines. With a second display mounted in the pilot's field of view and connected to the laptop running SpatialExplorer, a simple and intuitive interface is shown to the pilot to help navigate along these flightlines in 3d.

The operator uses SpatialExplorer on the left, the pilot uses MissionGuidance on the right
