AIR-BORNE SYSTEM OF PROBING EARTH'S SURFACE Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B64C19/00 G01V9/00 

FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: present invention pertains to air-borne systems, using remotely controlled aircraft for such purposes as tactical intelligence, aerial mapping, monitoring oil and gas pipelines and electrical power lines. The air-borne system of probing the earth's surface comprises a remote control radio channel using noise-like signals, system for space orientation and determination of current coordinates of an object using conjugated inertial and satellite navigation systems. Signals of the satellite navigation systems are received by three small antennae of a satellite navigation system, located in one plane, arranged in space at 120° from each other. For easier control, the operator is oriented in the system of processing and imaging radio telemetry, which is an understandable and convenient system of displaying digital and graphical information on the screen of a personal computer.

EFFECT: provision for a noise resistant, secret channel for wireless control of remotedly controlled aircraft, determination of space orientation of the object from signals of satellite navigation systems GLONASS/GPS for manual control outside the visibility zone.
