Nicht nur Flugzeuge und Hubschrauber gibt es auf der ILA 2012 zu sehen, sondern auch unbemannte Flugsysteme - das KZO (Kleinfluggerät Zielortung). Das KZO ist ein unbemanntes, programmgesteuertes und fernlenkbares Fluggerät zur Zielortung sowie zur Lage- und Wirkungsaufklärung von bewegten und stehenden Zielen unter nahezu allen Wetterbedingungen. Die Aufklärung erfolgt über einen stabilisierten Infrarotsensor, dessen Bilder an eine Bodenkontrollstation in nahezu Echtzeit gesendet und dort ausgewertet werden..Die Internationale Luft- und Raumfahrtausstellung (ILA) ist die größte Messe der Luft- und Raumfahrtindustrie in Deutschland. Sie findet alle zwei Jahre auf dem Südgelände des Flughafens Berlin-Schönefeld statt.
