OPTOELECTRONIC MULTI-CHANNEL HOMING HEAD Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC F41G7/22 

FIELD: aircraft engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of aviation technology and concerns an optoelectronic multi-channel homing head (HH). The homing head contains a housing inside which there are television (TV) and thermal imaging (TI) channels with matrix photodetectors and lenses, an electronic image processing module and a coordinator in the form of a laser indicator-coordinator with a lens. The electronic image processing module is designed with the ability to recognize both stationary targets by comparing their contour and texture features, and small-sized targets by analyzing the vector of target features obtained in the optical and infrared ranges, as well as with the ability to track the target. The coordinator performs homing on the spot of the laser-illuminator, the sighting axes of the TV, TI channels and the laser indicator-coordinator are adjusted to infinity, and the module for electronic processing of images received from TV and TI receiving devices is made with the additional possibility of tracking the target on the spot of laser illumination.

EFFECT: technical result is the increased reliability of the HH operation and simpler manufacture.
