METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE POSITION, PARTICULARLY IN ELEVATION, OF A TARGET FLYING AT VERY LOW ALTITUDE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for determining the position, particularly the elevation, of a target flying at very low altitude. An electromagnetic detection system extracts the elevation measurement from the amplitude of the interference signal (41) produced by a signal transmitted directly from the target and by a signal transmitted by the target in the direction of the ground and reflected by the ground to the radar. The invention may particularly be used for guiding drones in the final landing phase.
