Strike UI
Strike UI provides target tracking and terminal guidance controls within AMC Fly View.
In Auterion Mission Control (AMC), the Strike UI is the set of on-screen controls in Fly View that lets an operator initiate and monitor target tracking, and execute a strike or terminal guidance action.

MC Follow (multicopter) or Visual Fixed Wing Landing (fixed-wing) installed.
Camera and tracking service app (separate AuterionOS app) installed. Required for tracking support.
MC Follow, Visual Fixed Wing Landing, and the tracking service app are preinstalled on all compatible platforms.

The camera feed zooms in to the designated target area and the PiP overlay appears with a zoomed in view of the target area. To cancel, select Track again.
Use the arrow controls on the PiP to refine the tracked region.
Arrow keys on a keyboard can also be used to adjust the tracked region on the PiP. See Tracker control for configuration instructions.
Striking the target
Once tracking is active, the Strike button blinks yellow.
Select Strike to execute the strike. The button changes to STRIKING and the platform begins engaging the target.
Aborting a strike
When a strike is in progress select the Strike button again to abort.
Abort behavior depends on platform type:
Multicopter: Maintains current heading for 2 km, readjusts altitude, then hovers in position.
Fixed-wing: Maintains current heading for 2 km, readjusts altitude, then enters an orbit.
