The Use of a Radio Navigation System for Landing a Rotary-Wing Aircraft on the Deck of a Ship in Adverse Weather Conditions

The article deals with the problem of helicopter landing on a moving platform under adverse weather conditions. The article presents a study of the possibility of automatic determination of coordinates using antennas located on the blades of a helicopter propeller, relative to the landing pad, on which the radio signal sources are located. A variant of the implementation of such a system is proposed, its main characteristics are described. The possibility of using this system for helicopter landing in adverse weather conditions has been assessed. The implementation of such a system will make it possible to solve the problems of ensuring navigation during landing in difficult weather conditions, as well as during search and rescue operations.
