METHOD FOR JOINT OPERATION OF ON-BOARD RADIO LOCATION STATIONS AND ACTIVE INTERFERENCE STATIONS DURING GROUP ACTIONS OF FIGHTER PLANES Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC G01S7/38 G01S13/87 

FIELD: radio location.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of radio electronic warfare and can be used to increase the effectiveness of group actions of fighter planes. In the claimed method, pulse-Doppler on-board radio location stations of a group of two fighter planes are combined into a system with information exchange channels, a leader fighter plane is determined. For each on-board radio location station, the ranges to the enemy plane are measured and transmitted via the information exchange channel to the on-board computing system of the leader fighter plane. Paired fighter planes are equipped with active interference stations. In the on-board computing system of the leader fighter, based on the comparison of the measured ranges D₁ and D₂, respectively, between the first fighter plane and the enemy plane and the second fighter and the enemy plane in the case if D₁<D₂, the first plane whereon the on-board radio location station is operating for emission with a deactivated active interference station is designated as a striking fighter plane, and the second aircraft whereon the active interference station is activated and the airborne radio location station is deactivated for emission is designated as a cover fighter plane. Otherwise, at D₁>D_2, the second fighter plane is designated as a strike plane with an on-board radio location station operating for emission and a deactivated active interference station, and the first fighter plane is designated as a cover aircraft with an activated active interference station and an on-board radio location station deactivated for emission. The cover fighter therein maintains the "front line" form of the battle order with an interval L between the fighter planes of the pair.

EFFECT: increase in the effectiveness of group actions of fighter planes due to the setting of active interference and maintaining of the required parameters of the battle order.
