Method and integrated complex for determining the location of terrestrial sources of radio radiation based on special-purpose UAVs

The innovative solution belongs to the field of electronic communications and radio engineering, in particular, to methods of positioning a radio emission source (REF), namely, to methods of determining the location of radiation sources in a hostile environment and can be used in navigation, direction finding, and location tools when solving the problem of covert determination of the coordinates of radio emission sources, in particular, determining the coordinates of REF from the board of an aircraft (aircraft). Increasing the efficiency of the use of the integration complex for determining the location of ground-based radio emission sources of special purpose in comparison with known solutions occurs due to the additional introduction into the portable multifunctional means of determining the location of a radio emission source of the ground segment of an intelligent sensor (sensor) of the electromagnetic environment, an infrastructure management system for monitoring territories by groups of aircraft. At the same time, the infrastructure for monitoring territories by groups of flying vehicles is made in the form of interconnected groups of UAVs, which constitute the second level of the flying segment and are mobile access points, and interconnected groups of main UAVs, which constitute the first level of the flying segment, which relay received/transmitted data to the mobile communication base station, which operates in the normal mode. The innovative solution ensures increased efficiency of the functioning of the infrastructure of the integrated complex for determining the location of ground-based radio radiation sources of special purpose in conditions where the enemy uses ground-based radiation sources with directional antennas and operating at low power, by jointly using data from the arrays of primary measurements of a portable multifunctional means for determining the location of a ground-based radio radiation source and the changes of groups of UAVs of the second level of the flying segment, which are mobile access points, which allow to increase the accuracy of positioning.
