Abstract

A method is proposed for coordinating the instrumental coordinate systems of different posts of the optical-electronic system of aircraft with each other and with the inertial navigation system. The method does not require preflight preparation and is based on processing video information streams generated by thermal imaging and television channels of the optoelectronic system and using information from inertial navigational and radar systems when performing special maneuvers. Theoretical analysis of the accuracy and modeling showed the potential benefits of the proposed method.
