Method of determining position and motion parametres of object flying over sea surface at supersonic speed and at low altitude from width of trace on sea surface

Method of determining position and motion parametres of a supersonic object flying at low altitude over the surface of the sea (SS) from the radar-detected trace of the object on the sea surface does not require radar reflection from the object itself. The method is implemented by detecting the sea surface disturbance, the speed of the front of which enables its classification as a trace of an object flying at low altitude over the sea surface. Detection is carried out using a self-contained radar set mounted on a ship within the radar horizon using multiposition radar detection. The speed of the object is determined from the speed of the front of the sea surface disturbance and the direction of movement of the object is determined from the direction of movement of the front of the sea surface disturbance (SSD). Before detection of the sea surface disturbance, the average slope of large sea surface waves is determined. The average slope of large sea surface waves is determined using the ratio of intensity of electromagnetic energy back-scattering at two angles of slide which are not greater than the average slope of the wavy surface. In order to determine the position and motion parametres of the object, the width of the sea surface disturbance (trace) is measured at a distance from the front of the sea surface disturbance which is greater than L on the entire length of the trace. The width of the trace is measured through radar range strobing. The width of the trace, the distance from the front of the sea surface disturbance to the point where the width of the trace is constant, the flight altitude of the object, the projection on the sea surface of the distance front of the sea surface disturbance to the position of the object is determined using corresponding relationships.

Method of selecting objects on remote background

Method of selecting objects on a remote background involves reception and formation of reference and compared images using two identical video systems, installed at a small distance from each other about a remote background, with parallel principal optical axes, and simultaneous recording of both images. The images are recorded using two identical video systems based on multiple-element high-speed photodetectors, for example, CMOS matrices.

Method of processing information in coherent laser locator with photodetector array

Method of processing information in coherent laser locator with photodetector array

Present invention relates to measuring techniques and instrument making and can be used in laser Doppler location of stealth objects flying at low altitudes above water basins. The method of processing information in a coherent laser locator with a photodetector array is based on reception of laser radiation from glare of the sea surface, arising when probing radiation is scattered by the stealth object. The current location of an object and its velocity vector can be reconstructed through measurement of angle of arrival of radiation from the glare of the sea surface using a photosensitive reception matrix and through measurement of Doppler frequency shifts in a multi-channel unit for optimum filtration based on heterodyne reception methods using multi-channel dispersive delay lines using statistical averaging methods. Cutting on the number of information processing units is achieved due to creation of two- or three-dimensional groups of elements of a photodetector array, connected to information processing channels. In the processing channel, the signal is converted to a linear-frequency-modulated equivalent with subsequent amplification, spectro-time "compression" in the dispersive delay line, detection and minimum threshold cutting with a given threshold value, which allows for converting a signal with Doppler frequency shift to a short pulse, the time position of which, relative the strobe-pulse for the beginning of the measuring cycle, uniquely characterises the value of the given Doppler frequency shift. This time position of the pulse is coded in a digital code and stored in the corresponding buffer memory of a memory device, in the code of which there is also a code of the number of the measurement cycle and the code of the number of the channel, on which the signal from an element of the photodetector array was processed. From the set of such code records in the given measurement cycle, information is obtained on Doppler frequency shifts in signals of corresponding elements of the array and the position angle on the glare of the sea surface, detected by the locator in the given measuring cycle relative the optical axis of the receiving-transmitting objective of the locator, as well as scatter angles of the probing radiation of the stealth object, generating the said glares. If conditions are met for detecting an object and its bearing auto-tracking, where the inclined range line and the optical axis of the receiving-transmitting objective of the locator lie in the same plane, location of the object and measurement of its radial velocity is done through calculation, using a minimum of two different reflected radiation in a given measurement cycle, based on the method of overlapping circles. The radiation pattern of the locator is fan-shaped - wide on the position angle and extremely narrow on the azimuth.
