Claim 0:
1. An automated system for collecting environmental data along a ballistic trajectory, the automated system comprising:
a) at least one memory storing instructions;
b) at least one processor being configured to execute the instructions to perform operations, the operations comprising:
i) automatically estimating the ballistic trajectory of a projectile, the ballistic trajectory based on at least: projectile information, firing information, and target information;
ii) automatically converting the ballistic trajectory into a ballistic flight path comprising one or more segments, each of the segments, each of the segments comprising a plurality of coordinates, the coordinates located along the ballistic trajectory, the ballistic flight path based on at least: firing location information and target location information;
iii) electronically communicating the ballistic flight path to a guidance system of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), the guidance system being configured to cause the UAV to navigate along the ballistic flight path; and
iv) automatically collecting the environmental data along the ballistic flight path.
