Through the use of Ascentia Imagings modern Accu-Arc sensors the USAFs future measurement system for jack-to-jig operations could be dramatically simplified compared to todays systems.We propose that our system could result in:Far less set-up time and operator trainingReduced cost of operation through simple or automatic operation and continuous self-calibrationPotentially increase overall system height measurement precision, while also providing 6DOF measurements if neededAnd, possibly increase operator safety by requiring only minimal attention from the operators.Ascentia Imaging, Inc has an off-the-shelf real-time ultra-precision angle sensor called the Accu-Arc.Instead of bulky, heavy and complicated instruments like Total Stations the Accu-Arc is small (a cube approximately 2 on a side), has a 40 degree FOV and no moving parts, can measure 16 targets simultaneously with up to a 100 Hz update rate.All 16 targets can be measured with arc-second precision and simultaneous sampling enabling both dynamic and high-precision estimates of targets in the field or view at a high update rate. The entire system has been designed to deliver the highest possible measurement precision in challenging commercial, industrial and military applications.localization,remote height measurement,Accu-Arc angle sensor,ultra-precise angle measurement,arc-second angle measurement precision,remote sensing,remote angle sensing
