METHOD OF DETERMINING RELATIVE POSITION AT ENROUTE AIR NAVIGATION Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G01C21/00 

FIELD: aviation.

SUBSTANCE: when determining the relative position of neighboring aircrafts against the given aircraft via satellites constellation and a radar method followed by the complex processing of navigation information, common synchronization signals for these methods are generated based on the complex processing of timing parameters of the synchronization signals. Whereas in the first case the navigation information is determined by each aircraft, the transfer and receipt thereof via aircraft information exchange channels is effected by generating synchronization signals for over time separation of the transfer and receipt of the navigation information, and in the second case the location information is determined via transfer and receipt of sounding signals by each aircraft and the relative distances of neighboring aircrafts are determined. Method versions assess the accuracy of generating common synchronization signals.

EFFECT: increased accuracy and reliability of generating synchronization signals when determining the relative position of the aircraft.
