Description

The increase in the accuracy of determining the coordinates of targets is explained by the use of a network of counter-battery radar stations and the rangefinding method for determining the coordinates of targets. The main advantage of using the rangefinding method for determining the coordinates of targets in a network of counter-battery radar stations is to ensure the required accuracy in determining the coordinates of targets without using accurate measurement of angular coordinates. The minimum geometry of the system, which ensures the use of the rangefinding method for determining coordinates, is given. The method of determining the coordinates of targets by a network of counter-battery radar stations has been improved. In contrast to the known ones, information about the range to the target is additionally used in a spatially distributed network of radar stations for counter-battery combat. The boundaries of the working zones of the network of two and three counter-battery radar stations are calculated. The features of creating a continuous strip using the rangefinding method for determining the coordinates of the target are considered. Statistical modeling of the rangefinding method for determining the plane coordinates of the target has been carried out. It has been established that the use of the rangefinding method ensures the determination of the planar coordinates of the target in a sector of at least 120°. The targets are at a distance of direct radio visibility in relation to the counter-battery radar. The root-mean-square error in determining the target range in this case is no more than 50 m. It has been established that the creation of continuous bands of a low-altitude radar field at a certain height is possible by arranging radar stations in a line. In this case, the distance between the counter-battery radar stations should be no more than half the target detection range at this height
