METHOD OF TRACKING AERIAL TARGET AND TELESCOPIC SIGHT HAVING TRACKING RANGE FINDER FOR IMPLEMENTING SAID METHOD Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC F41G7/26 

FIELD: physics, optics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to telescopic sights of guidance systems of controlled objects and can be used in air defence fire control systems. The method comprises detecting an aerial target; selecting angular aiming speed of an electro-optical module (EOM) by superimposing the cross on a monitor screen with the target; turning the EOM into an automatic target tracking mode by inputting an image of the target into a tracking gate and issuing a Capture command; measuring the current range to the target by emitting laser radiation towards the target and receiving the radiation reflected from the target; controlling the spatial position of the laser radiation towards the target by issuing control commands, which correspond to angular coordinates of the target, to a two-dimensional acoustooptical deflector; converting the digital code of the range into a video signal; display thereof on a monitor in the form of a digital inscription; determining angular velocities of the aerial target and the drive of the EOM; determining the value and direction of the necessary changes of the angular velocities of the drive of the EOM by comparing angular velocities of the target and the drive of the EOM; issuing a recommendation to the pointer of a portable system on the required value and direction of changing angular velocity of the drive of the EOM.

EFFECT: high reliability of tracking high-speed and manoeuvring targets.
