The present invention provides a method for airborne active
phased array weather radar airspace expansion detection and display, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Acquire 3D multi-layer scan
reflectivity data of the space in front of the carrier aircraft at time T0; Step 2: Calculate
reflectivity data of the spatial weather model at time T0; Step 3: Calculate the position change information of the carrier aircraft relative to T0 at time T1; Step 4: Calculate the weather echo data of the expanded airspace portion of the carrier
radar at time T1; Step 5: Based on the result of Step 4, obtain the expanded airspace detection data at time T1 and display it on the
radar screen. By interpolating and storing the airborne 3D scan data as 3D grid data, an airspace weather model is generated. When the carrier aircraft scans within the airspace weather model, the relative position relationship between the carrier
radar and the weather model can be used to calculate weather echo data for a larger scanning range. At the same time, the 3D grid data in a specific radar
azimuth can be extracted to obtain altitude and distance information of weather targets.
