    Abstract: Platform (100; 200, 200′, 200″) configured to acquire images and/or radio signals and to be carried by lightweight aviation aircrafts, characterised in that it comprises housing means (1, 3; 22, 201, 202, 203, 31) that houses one or more acquisition sensors selected from the group comprising or consisting of cameras (5; 51; 32) configured to acquire still and/or moving images and radio signal receivers (62; 34) configured to acquire radio signals, said housing means (1, 3; 22, 201, 202, 203, 31) being configured to be coupled to a light aviation aircraft (540), said one or more acquisition sensors (5; 51; 32; 62; 34) being connected to processing means (6; 23) configured to receive sensing data from a position and motion sensing unit (10; 230) coupled to said one or more acquisition sensors (5; 51; 32; 62; 34), said processing means (6; 23) being configured to control and/or program, on the basis of the received sensing data, each acquisition sensor (5; 51; 32; 62; 34) so as to enable the same to acquire images and/or radio signals when such acquisition sensor (5; 51; 32; 62; 34) is in a determined position and is subject to oscillations having a velocity that is not larger in absolute value than a maximum oscillation velocity value, whereby a rate of variation of an actual aiming of such acquisition sensor (5; 51; 32; 62; 34) is not larger in absolute value than a respective maximum value of rate of variation of offset with respect to an ideal aiming at a target, so as to ensure focusing of such acquisition sensor (5; 51; 32; 62; 34) on an aimed area.
