Abstract:According to plane geometry relationship, the passive ranging formula for dual-aircraft in different direction flight is obtained by the angle measuring. As soon as the included angle between dual-aircraft directions and the deflection angle of baseline are going to zero, the passive ranging formula can be obtained when two aircrafts fly along the same straight line. Based on ranging algorithm derived from this paper, the measuring error analysis shows that the technical requirement less than 5%R within
90°range can be satisfied by properly adjusting the deflection angle of baseline between two aircrafts.
