PROCEDE ET DISPOSITIF DE LOCALISATION D'AERONEFS, NOTAMMENT POUR LEUR GUIDAGE AUTOMATIQUE EN PHASE D'ATTERRISSAGE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and a device for locating aircraft. A radar (3) performs distance and angle location of the aircraft. Location is refined by means of at least one airborne beacon (4) aboard the aircraft and of at least one beacon (5) whose position is predetermined with respect to the radar (3), the measurement of the position of the airborne beacon (4) being performed by the radar (3) by differential measurement between the position of at least one ground beacon (5) and of at least one airborne beacon (4). The invention is in particular used for the automatic guidance of drones in the approach and landing phase.
