STUDY OF TERRAIN FOLLOWING SYSTEMS AND THE CREATION OF FLIGHT PATHS FOR TERRAIN FOLLOWING VEHICLES

STUDIUM AV TERRAENGFOELJANDE SYSTEM OCH SKAPANDE AV FKYGBANOR FOER TERRAENGFOELJANDE LUFTFARKOSTER

The study of terrain following (TF) systems was motivated by the need of adequate flight paths for different vehicles in studying different types of threats and strategies around an anti-aircraft defended area. The flight paths for these TF-vehicles, from strategic bombers to RPVs, must follow the terrain as closely as possible and must be within the dynamic limitations of these vehicles. The study started with a literature survey and one of the documentsm included a very valuable theoretical background. The document has been the foundation for the development of a computer model that optimizes flight path over a given terrain by linear programming techniques.
