METHOD FOR CONCEALING THE ELECTROOPTICAL MEANS OF THE AIRBORNE ELECTROOPTICAL SURVEILLANCE COMPLEX Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC G02B26/04 

FIELD: electro-optics production.

SUBSTANCE: method for concealing the electrooptical means (EOM) of the airborne electrooptical surveillance complex (AEOSC) is based on observing sections of the underlying surface of the AEOSC EOM by flying an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) along a given trajectory, conducting an onboard monitoring in the UAV plane of side-scattered radiation laser location tool (LLT). Upon detection of scattered LLT radiation, the spatial parameters of the LLT beam are measured, the coordinates of the LLT location are determined from the measured spatial parameters of the LLT beam and the flight parameters of the UAV, the UAV flight path is changed so that the area of the underlying surface of the LLT location is observed last, while before observing the area of the underlying surface of the LLT location reduce the effective scattered area of the onboard AEOSC EOM to the level of the effective scattered area of the UAV body.

EFFECT: method for concealing the electrooptical means of the airborne electrooptical surveillance complex.
