METHOD OF DETERMINING KINEMATIC PARAMETERS OF AIRCRAFT MOVEMENT Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G01C21/24 G01S11/02 

FIELD: physics, navigation.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to navigation and can be used to determine angular and spatial coordinates, as well as velocities and accelerations of aircraft. When implementing the method of determining kinematic parameters of aircraft movement, scanning devices mounted on the aircraft are directed towards regions, characterised by maximum values of angle and temperature derivatives. Further, said scanning devices measure spectral density of radiation power in at least three directions and in at least three spectral wavelength ranges. Radiation temperature in said direction is calculated based on the obtained values of spectral density of radiation power. Motion parameters of the aircraft are determined by comparing the obtained temperature values with temperature values on a cosmic background map entered into a database in advance.

EFFECT: invention widens the field of use of the method, and increases measurement accuracy.
