DEFINING THE COORDINATES OF A TRACKED GROUND TARGET IN THE REFERENCE SYSTEM SK-42 ON THE AERIAL VEHICLES

Abstract

To solve some practical problems at acting on the ground targets from aircraft, it is required to determine their geodetic coordinates – latitude, longitude, and height above the sea level, in particular in the coordinate system SK-42. In literature, there are solutions that describe the coordinate transformations between different frames of references. In this paper, the integration of these solutions with additional transformations is proposed to get geodetic coordinates of the target on the aircraft. Based on the proposed solution, a technical device can be constructed to calculate the geodetic coordinates of the tracked target. A large number of experiments with the model of the device have been done in MATLAB. Modeling of a large number of experiments confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed solution, which can be applied in practice.
