INTEGRATED AUTOMATIC TRACKING SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC G01S13/66 

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: in a tracking system, having functionally interconnected location and electro-optical direction finders, a mode logic former, first, second and third switches, a first converter for converting coordinates from a non-stabilised coordinate system to a stabilised coordinate system, an automatic tracking device, an inertial tracking unit, a guiding and stabilising device and an electro-optical system control unit, the location and electro-optical direction finders are mechanically connected to each other and have a kinematic link with the output shaft of the guiding and stabilising device; there is also a first and a second converter for converting non-stabilised coordinates to stabilised coordinates, a ripple filter, second and third converters for converting stabilised coordinates to non-stabilised coordinates, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth switches, an initial position setter, a missile loading control unit, a gyroscopic angle sensor, an angular velocity metre, a second guiding and stabilising device, a missile hoisting drive and a missile hoisting mechanism. The listed means are connected to each other in a certain manner.

EFFECT: high accuracy and stability of tracking a target with an integrated automatic tracking system when launching a guided missile, carrying out operations for reloading and launching guided missiles when carrying out a system of targets of firing at a manoeuvring target tracked by direction finders.
