Target¶
Asset reference
Concept¶
A target is a geographic point of interest — a city, site, or landmark — used when you care about access to a place without modeling a full ground station RF chain.
Use targets for simple visibility/access studies, as Link secondaries among platforms, or as aiming points for sensor Targeted pointing. Prefer a Facility when you need elevation masks, antennas, and ground COMM parameters.
