1. A system for aligning antennae, comprising:
- a processor;
a positioning system, coupled to said processor, for determining a position and an orientation of a local antenna; and
a visual display, coupled to said processor, wherein said processor is configured for generating a graphical user interface comprising indicia including graphical elements indicating a relative position of said local antenna and a target antenna, and graphical elements showing the axis of the main lobe of the radiation pattern of said local antenna.

Abstract
A system for aligning two ground-based antennae (100, 110) or a ground-based antenna (100) and a satellite antenna (110), for use in military and civilian settings, in which a visual display is generated showing a graphical representation of the antennae including graphical representations indicating both the axis of the main lobe (102) and the approximate radiation pattern (414) of the antennae, superimposed over a live imaging of the local terrain. The alignment is achieved when the graphical representations of the main axis and radiation patterns of the two antennae align with each other.
