METHOD OF AUTONOMOUS DEVELOPMENT OF SEMI-ACTIVE HOMING SYSTEM OF AIRCRAFTS AND DEVICE TO THIS EFFECT Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC F41G1/54 F41G7/22 G05B23/02 

FIELD: weapons.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to defense enginery, in particular to the sphere of armament testing and can be used at development of weapon systems with semi-active homing of aircrafts, in particular guided missiles or projectile. The method includes setting code by the laser semi-active homing head, of illumination target by laser radiation with the preset code by means of laser designator and rangefinder, search of the laser radiation by the laser semi-active homing head reflected from the target, coordination of actions by means of communication. Depending on the tactical task, the laser designator and rangefinder, target and laser semi-active homing head are placed at the required reciprocal distances wherefor they are controlled and corrected; while searching the laser radiation the output signals of the laser semi-active homing head are registered; the output signal of the laser semi-active homing head are compared to the required target values; based on the results of the comparison the correctness of tract operation "laser designator and rangefinder - target - laser semi-active homing head" visevaluated.

EFFECT: chances for testing and autonomous development of the semi-active homing system for different ranges of the relative position of elements, at different angles of target marking, properties of target reflection surfaces, external conditions; ruling out unconditional necessity of aircraft launch at development.
