This invention relates to the field of airborne geophysical exploration, and more particularly to an intelligent monitoring and predictive guidance method for helicopter-towed pods. This method involves arranging multiple GPS arrays on the flexible structure of the pod, fusing airborne GPS,
radar altimeter, attitude sensor, video, and meteorological data to construct a pod oscillation model incorporating structural
modes and identifying deformation parameters online. A multi-model adaptive fusion framework is established, employing extended Kalman filtering and a Bayesian weight update mechanism to achieve state
estimation. The spatial
wind field gradient is inverted and injected into the forced
pendulum dynamics equation to predict the trajectory, calculating the
ground contact risk index to trigger graded alarms.
Pilot cognitive load is assessed based on eye-tracking and
joystick spectral analysis, dynamically simplifying the guidance interface. Lateral / longitudinal oscillation patterns are identified in the body coordinate
system, generating differentiated control commands. This invention achieves intelligent monitoring and predictive guidance of the pod's state, improving
flight safety and
data quality.
