TRACKING SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: systems for observation and tracking objects in space, predominantly, from mobile base. SUBSTANCE: tracking system includes opticoelectron direction finder, comparator, first switch and filtering unit connected in series, storage and second switch connected in series, location direction finder and former of logic of modes connected in series, guidance and stabilization facility. Location and opticoelectron direction finders are interjoined mechanically and are kinematically coupled to output shaft of guidance and stabilization facility. Second output of location direction finder is connected to second input of second switch which third input is connected to first output of opticoelectron direction finder. Second output of second switch 6 is linked to input of guidance and stabilization facility whose second output is connected to second input of adder connected with output to input of opticoelectron direction finder. Output of filtering unit is connected to second input of first switch which second output is connected to input of storage. Second output of opticoelectron direction finder is connected to second input of former of logic of modes whose first and second outputs are connected correspondingly to controlling inputs of first and second switches, second input of comparator is connected to second output of location direction finder. EFFECT: potential for automatization of system lock-on on object and on tracking under optical mode, enhanced stability of object tracking and possibility of automatic restoration of tracking under optical mode in case of interruption of optical communication. 1 dwg, 1 tbl
