METHOD FOR GUIDANCE OF AIRCRAFT TO RADIATION SOURCE Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC F42B15/01 

FIELD: aviation.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of aircraft control and can be used for their guaranteed pointing to a ground source of radiation using only the known bearing without determining the coordinates of the source. Method involves finding a source of radiation. It is identified as targets. Heading angle is determined on the radiation source. Constructing a straight line of a given path passing through the direction-finding point towards the radiation source. Aircraft is brought out with turning to the line of the specified path with zero heading angle to the radiation source. Local Cartesian coordinate system with centre coinciding with location of aircraft at the moment of direction finding of radiation source is used for calculation. Aircraft is provided on the line of the specified path to the point of direction finding of the radiation source at any speeds and heading angles. Aircraft speed and minimum allowable turning radius are determined. Calculating the start point and the turning radius of the aircraft. Straight flight is performed to design point of turn start. Discharge of aircraft on line of preset path is performed along circle with design radius with turning in opposite direction from radiation source.

EFFECT: technical result is higher guidance efficiency by eliminating the aircraft output from the radiation source.
