Wire obstacle warning system

摘要

A system including a linear CCD sensor array included in a gated optical radar which is particularly adapted to permit pattern recognition of wire or wire-like obstacles during low level flight of the radar platform, e.g. helicopters or the like. The system provides a display and/or automatic warning to the pilot of the location of impending danger so that evasive action may be taken with as little human operator function as possible being required to perform the detection and recognition phase.
