Abstract

The visualisation method involves using an object designation system (1). The system determines, relatively to a reference position, an azimuth and a site angles of the object (31) direction. The azimuth angle is carried over on a two-dimensional display (6) w.r.t a corresponding direction from the reference position representation. The site angle is carried over as an object representation according to the azimuth angle direction and at a distance from the reference position which is function of the site angle. The designation system may comprise a passive IR detector (2) with a scanning device (3). This is arranged to determine the direction and elevation of the line of sight to the object relative to a reference direction, leading to the information of a two dimensional view on a screen. The speed vector of the object is also estimated, and a predicted line of travel is determined. use/ <IMAGE>
