An analysis of the systematic errors of measurements of the effective dispersion area of two classes of small objects of laser detection and ranging is conducted. The laws governing the variations of these errors as a function of the sign and radius of curvature of the front of radiation incident on the reflector and the reflected radiation along with the detection and ranging distance are established. A new “far zone” criterion for laser detection and ranging of these types of reflectors is proposed.
