Method for autonomously obtaining a cartographic representation of the operational area of a military unit

The method involves starting a micro drone (MD) along a pre-programmed air route of a deployment area in a military unit, and memorizing the data collected by the drone. The data is combined with the location and position data of the area to form a geo referential overall picture of the area. The picture is loaded and viewed as digital map in a personal mobile navigation system of the members of the military unit.
