Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of automatic control of tracking radars, and in particular to a method and system for scanning elevation angles of aerial targets of tracking radars based on distance adaptation. Background Art

[0002] In order to quickly capture the target, the tracking radar needs to quickly adjust its side after the command is given, and lock the target through elevation scanning to stably track the aerial target. The radar azimuth refers to the lateral angle of the target relative to the radar, ranging from 0° to 360°, usually based on the true north direction. The elevation angle refers to the horizontal angle of the target relative to the radar, ranging from 0° to 85°. The azimuth and elevation angles are important parameters for determining the spatial position of the target. The azimuth can be determined by measuring the lateral distance between the target and the radar. The radar's antenna directivity is usually used to determine the lateral position of the target, and the azimuth is calculated by comparing the signal strength in different directions. The elevation angle can be determined by measuring the vertical distance between the target and the radar. The radar's antenna directivity is usually used to determine the vertical position of the target, and the pitch angle is calculated by comparing the signal strength at different heights.

[0003] Invention CN 117388842 A discloses a method for quickly capturing a target by a machine-scanning tracking radar angle servo system. According to radar requirements and elevation servo performance, the maximum scanning speed is determined, and the time of the constant speed stage, the constant speed stage, and the deceleration stage are determined according to the maximum scanning speed, thereby improving the rapidity and target detection capability of the machine-scanning radar. For a three-dimensional target, the target can be quickly locked, and for a two-dimensional target, the azimuth can be quickly adjusted to the target position after the target is issued, while the elevation angle can only be adjusted to a fixed angle. For an aerial target, due to the different target heights, the elevation angle will not be fixed at a certain angle. In order to quickly capture the target, an appropriate method must be adopted at the elevation angle to quickly lock the target. The elevation scanning range of the existing technology can only be fixed at a certain angle, so the target capture reaction time is long and it cannot effectively track fast targets.

[0029] Step 3, calculate the target elevation position according to the second scanning speed, and determine whether the target elevation position is less than the upper limit of the elevation angle. If it is less, increase the number of scanning points by one and recalculate the target elevation position; otherwise, set the second scanning speed to the third scanning speed, and set the number of scanning points to zero, and proceed to step 4;

[0030] Step 4, calculate the target elevation position according to the third scanning speed, and determine whether the target elevation position is greater than the middle position between the lower elevation limit and the upper elevation limit.

If it is, increase the number of scanning points by one and recalculate the target elevation position; otherwise, set the fourth scanning speed to the first scanning speed, set the number of scanning points to zero, and return to step 2.

[0032] As a specific example, in step 1, the initial values ​​of the variables are determined, and the range of the elevation scan is determined, as follows:

[0033] Step 1.1, for the new tracking radar, start aiming and capturing the target at 10 kilometers. Before the elevation scan, the azimuth is first adjusted to the aiming position, the elevation is adjusted to 0°, and then the range of the elevation scan is determined. For air targets, the elevation range is between E1 and E2, the lower limit of the elevation scan is E1, the upper limit of the elevation scan is E2, and the scanning period is SCAN_T; the elevation scan is divided into four sections, represented by i=1, 2, 3, 4; define the variable n as the number of scanning points, v as the scanning speed, a as the scanning acceleration, EL as the current elevation value, aPreEL as the expected scanning elevation value, Scanspeed as the expected scanning angular velocity value, and t as the scanning sampling time;

[0034] Step 1.2, the elevation scan lower limit E1 and the elevation scan upper limit E2 change with the change of target distance, and the calculation formula is:

[0035] E1=1+8.0 / (DistanceCapture*0.001+1)

[0036] E2=arcsin(6470.0 / (DistanceCapture+1))

[0037] Among them, DistanceCapture is the target distance in meters;

[0038] Step 1.3, determine the initial value of each variable, set the number of scanning points n = 1, the number of scanning segments i = 1, indicating that starting from the first segment, the expected scanning elevation angle value aPreEL = EL = 0, and the scanning acceleration a = (E2-E1) / ((SCAN_T / 4.0)*

[0039] (SCAN_T / 4.0)).

[0040] As a specific example, in step 2, the target elevation position is calculated according to the first scanning speed, and it is determined whether the target elevation position is less than the middle position between the lower elevation limit and the upper elevation limit. If it is less, the number of scanning points is increased by one, and the target elevation position is recalculated; otherwise, the first scanning speed is set to the second scanning speed, and the number of scanning points is set to zero, and step 3 is entered, which is as follows:

[0041] Step 2.1, determine whether the expected scanning elevation angle value aPreEL is less than (E1+E2) / 2.0, if so, proceed to step 2.2; otherwise, proceed to step 2.3;

If it is less, the number of scanning points is increased by one, and the target elevation position is recalculated; otherwise, the second scanning speed is set to the third scanning speed, and the number of scanning points is set to zero, and step 4 is entered, which is as follows:

[0053] Step 3.1, determine whether the expected scanning elevation angle value aPreEL is less than E2, if so, proceed to step 3.2; otherwise, proceed to step 3.3;

[0054] Step 3.2: Perform the following operations:

[0055] aScanSpeed ​​= va*n*t;

[0056] aPreE=v*n*t-0.5*a*(n*t)*(n*t)+0.5*(E1+E2);

[0057] n=n+1.0;

If it is greater, the number of scanning points is increased by one, and the target elevation position is recalculated; otherwise, the third scanning speed is set to the fourth scanning speed, and the number of scanning points is set to zero, and step 5 is entered, which is as follows:

[0064] Step 4.1, determine whether the expected scanning elevation angle value aPreEL is greater than (E1+E2) / 2.0, if it is greater, proceed to step 4.2; otherwise, proceed to step 4.3;

[0065] Step 4.2: Perform the following operations:

[0066] aScanSpeed ​​= -a*n*t;

[0067] aPreEL=E2+0.5*aScanSpeed*(n*t);

[0068] n=n+1.0;

[0075] As a specific example, in step 5, the target elevation position is calculated according to the fourth scanning speed, and it is determined whether the target elevation position is greater than the lower limit of the elevation angle. If it is greater, the number of scanning points is increased by one, and the target elevation position is recalculated; otherwise, the fourth scanning speed is set to the first scanning speed, and the number of scanning points is set to zero, and the process returns to step 2, as follows:

[0076] Step 5.1, determine whether the expected scanning elevation angle value aPreEL is greater than E1, if so, proceed to step 5.2; otherwise, proceed to step 5.3;

[0077] Step 5.2: Perform the following operations:

[0078] aPreEL=v*n*t+0.5*a*(n*t)*(n*t)+0.5*(E1+E2);

[0079] aScanSpeed ​​= v + a*n*t;

[0080] n=n+1.0;

[0081] Return to step 5.1;

[0082] Step 5.3: Perform the following operations:

[0083] n=0;

[0084] i=1;

[0085] Return to step 2.

[0086] As a specific example, in step 1.1, the scanning sampling time t is set to 5 ms.
