Aerial object ranging based on goniometric data in an airborne single-position passive optoelectronic system

详细

A method is proposed for determining motion parameters of an aerial object using a passive optoelectronic system when an aircraft (AC) performs a special maneuver. The method is based on measuring the azimuth and elevation of the aerial object, as well as the AC’s own coordinates at three path points: two measurements on the straight-and-level segment and one measurement after the maneuver. The method does not violate the tactical situation and makes it possible to maintain optical contact with the object during the maneuver. The method is modeled. The accuracy characteristics are estimated. The validation procedure for determining an aerial object’s motion parameters is proposed.
