Postural Compensation Method and Test for Improving Target Angle Measurement Error in High-Maneuverability Aircraft Situations

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In this study, we propose and test a postural compensation method for improving the target angle measurement error in high-maneuverability aircraft situations. To track a target with high tracking accuracy, radars should prioritize technologies that utilize aircraft postural information and target angle measurement error information. If the beam-steering information is calculated with inaccurate postural compensation values, the beam cannot be steered to the desired position. Then, the target can be lost, or incorrect target measurement information can be obtained. Therefore, to improve target detection accuracy in high-maneuverability aircraft situations, we propose a method to precisely compensate for postural information when calculating the beam steering angle and to obtain target angle measurement error information at the start of beam emission. Through tests, it was confirmed that the proposed method could improve the accuracy of target angle measurement in high-maneuverability aircraft situations compared with existing methods.
