Trillium Engineering has elevated its Splash-to-Target capability through its proprietary SkyLink software.
With the most recent software update, users can now designate specific geo-points as gun locations, with support for up to two active guns. Trillium’s SkyLink software aids users by providing overlay lines from the designated gun to a specified target, both on the video and the map.
The demo at Camp Pendleton in California in January 2024 tested the latest advancements, focusing on the updated Gun Target Line through the Splash-To-Target feature.
The software update allows users to define two geo-located points and specify the gun to target angle, as well as determine the left/right or add/drop corrections, all from the gun’s vantage point.
Comprehensive calculations for the splash-to-target scenario from the perspective of any defined gun points are now available in NATO mils units alongside meters, providing enhanced clarity and precision in targeting calculations.
“The addition of the Splash-to-Target tool adds depth to the capabilities provided by our sUAS operators. The ability for them to be a player in the fire support workflow makes them a more capable asset for their supported unit,” said Gunnery Sergeant (GySgt) Richard C. Gordineer, Instructor, Infantry Unit Leader Course Advanced Infantry Training Battalion. “The way in which this tool provides the corrections is generally faster to process at the gunline compared to other comparable methods.”
According to Trillium, this capability, developed in response to the USMC’s specific requirements, underscores the importance of the company’s close relationship with its customers. The ability to swiftly incorporate requested features demonstrates Trillium’s dedication to meeting the evolving needs of military professionals.
Trillium continues to refine its offerings, ensuring that users have access to the most advanced tools for mission success. As the landscape of defense and security evolves, Trillium remains at the forefront, driving innovation and delivering solutions that exceed expectations.
