A geodetic marking system for marking a known target point (5, 5a, 5b) having an automotive, unmanned, remote controllable targeting unit and having a geodetic position determination arrangement (20, 30, 40) for the external actual position determination of the targeting unit, wherein the targeting unit is implemented in such a manner that the targeting unit is positionable at least temporarily substantially fixed in position, in particular floating, wherein • the targeting unit carries a marking unit, which is in particular modularly removable, for marking the target point (5, 5a, 5b) and • the marking system has a control unit, wherein the control unit is configured in such a manner that ∘ as a function of the external actual position, which is determinable continuously in particular, and a known target point position of the target point (5, 5a, 5b), the targeting unit is positionable in an automatically controlled manner in a defined setpoint position, in particular in a defined tolerance region around the setpoint position, relative to the target point position, in particular continuously, and ∘ in consideration of the actual position, the setpoint position, and a defined marking direction (14, 14a, 14b) from the marking unit to the target point (5, 5a, 5b), the marking unit is controllable for marking the target point (5, 5a, 5b) such that the target point (5, 5a, 5b) can be marked in the defined marking direction (14, 14a, 14b) with geodetic precision, characterized in that the targeting unit is an air vehicle. • the targeting unit carries a marking unit, which is in particular modularly removable, for marking the target point (5, 5a, 5b) and • the marking system has a control unit, wherein the control unit is configured in such a manner that ∘ as a function of the external actual position, which is determinable continuously in particular, and a known target point position of the target point (5, 5a, 5b), the targeting unit is positionable in an automatically controlled manner in a defined setpoint position, in particular in a defined tolerance region around the setpoint position, relative to the target point position, in particular continuously, and ∘ in consideration of the actual position, the setpoint position, and a defined marking direction (14, 14a, 14b) from the marking unit to the target point (5, 5a, 5b), the marking unit is controllable for marking the target point (5, 5a, 5b) such that the target point (5, 5a, 5b) can be marked in the defined marking direction (14, 14a, 14b) with geodetic precision, ∘ as a function of the external actual position, which is determinable continuously in particular, and a known target point position of the target point (5, 5a, 5b), the targeting unit is positionable in an automatically controlled manner in a defined setpoint position, in particular in a defined tolerance region around the setpoint position, relative to the target point position, in particular continuously, and ∘ in consideration of the actual position, the setpoint position, and a defined marking direction (14, 14a, 14b) from the marking unit to the target point (5, 5a, 5b), the marking unit is controllable for marking the target point (5, 5a, 5b) such that the target point (5, 5a, 5b) can be marked in the defined marking direction (14, 14a, 14b) with geodetic precision,
