EXPERIMENTAL ABILITY EVALUATION OF PASSIVE NAP-OF-THE-EARTH AIRCRAFT TARGET LOCATION USING SEISMIC FIELDS

Abstract

The acoustic field created by aircraft engine causes generation of seismic field in the ground surface layer. The seismic field may be successfully used to locate nap-of-the-earth (with less than 200 m flight altitude) aircraft. Description of method for passive target location is presented. The range of target detection in accordance with the experimental research of nap-of-the-earth aircraft (airplanes, helicopters) is predicted.
