Development of a system for mounting a microwave radarfor obstacle detection

Abstract

The subject of scientific research is the consideration of layout options and the possibility of placing a microwave radar on board a helicopter. The goal is to develop a methodology for creating a three-dimensional parametric model of the radar mounting system. The task is to develop an algorithm (sequence of steps) for creating a three-dimensional parametric radar mount model without making changes to the basic design and layout of an existing aircraft. The methods used are: methods of analytical geometry; methods of scanning three-dimensional objects; methods of three-dimensional parametric modeling using modern computer-integrated CAD\CAM\CAE systems in the context of existing assemblies. The following results were obtained. On the basis of the scanned point cloud, a parametric model of the nose of the aircraft was created, the area of additional equipment installed on the aircraft was determined, a microwave radar mounting system was developed, a three-dimensional model of the mounting system was made, and design documentation was developed for it. Conclusions. The scientific novelty of the obtained results is as follows: a general algorithm, stages of design and three-dimensional parametric modeling of the aircraft unit using the methods and principles of reverse engineering have been developed. The implementation of this algorithm, methods and principles of reverse engineering is presented on en example of the creation of a microwave radar mounting system on the F1 compartment of the Mi8-MSB1 helicopter. The work presents the stages of designing a platform for attaching a microwave obstacle detection radar to the frame of the F1 compartment Mi-8MSB1 helicopter, as well as the radar scanning zone during the flight.
