# 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.
