METHOD FOR DETERMINING AIRCRAFT CARRIER ROLLING AND LOCATION OF AIRCRAFT, AND DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC G01C21/20 

FIELD: instrument making.

SUBSTANCE: beacon image coordinates are determined on photomatrixes, beacon coordinates are calculated in the system of coordinates, which is related to the aircraft, and angles of aircraft orientation relative to aircraft carrier are calculated. At that, there used are signals of inertial navigation system of the aircraft, heading and rolling angles of aircraft carrier, coordinates of the aircraft location relative to aircraft carrier gravity centre points of stern shear of the runway and aircraft landing points are determined. Device includes module of laser beacons, two optic-and-location units, each containing photolens and photomatrix, computing device containing processing module of digital image of laser beacons, computing module of coordinates of beacons, computing module of matrix of directional cosines, computing module of rolling and heading angles of aircraft carrier and computing module of aircraft coordinates.

EFFECT: accuracy improvement.
