    摘要: A terrain-referenced navigation system (600) for an aircraft comprises: a stored digital terrain map (606); a position calculation unit (608) arranged to calculate aircraft position relative to the stored digital terrain map (606) to determine a terrain-referenced aircraft position; a fall line calculation unit (612) arranged to calculate a fall line for a projectile starting from the terrain-referenced aircraft position as a launch point; and an impact point calculation unit (614) arranged to directly compare the fall line with the digital terrain map, by incrementally comparing a height of the projectile along the fall line with a height of the terrain according to the stored digital terrain map (606) in order to find an expected impact point on the terrain.

    摘要: The object of this invention is a method to shoot an object from a flying apparatus. Into an flying apparatus, into certain part of it, like a container that consists at least of a bottom and a shell a spring will be placed, like a push spring that has been loaded in a tense state and that is locked in this position using a fixing organ and further there will be put as an extension of the spring an object to be shot out from the flying apparatus. The fixing organ is thread, metal cord, bar, strip, rope, line, or some combination of these and tension strength (T) is greater than the tension load of the push force (F) to the mentioned fixing organ. the tension strength (T) of the fixing organ is weakened to be less than the mentioned tension load by heating, burning, or melting the mentioned fixing organ by electric energy when the fixing organ breaks, the spring expands into the direction of the object and the push force (F) pushes the object out of the container and off the flying apparatus. The apparatus that is used in the present method is also an object of the invention.

    摘要: A flying object (11) capable of being launched in air is detachably mounted on a wing body (12) of a launching apparatus (10). The launching apparatus (10) is towed by an aircraft (30) via a cable (20) so as to be run and taken off. After raising of the launching apparatus (10) to a launching height of the flying object (11) by the aircraft (30), the flying object (11) is released from the wing body (12) in air and then the flying object (11) is ignited and launched in the air. The system for launching in air can be developed without newly developing a platform as a mother ship so that the research cost can be remarkably reduced. In the case that a small artificial satellite is installed in a flying object (11), it is possible to develop an artificial satellite smoothly and quickly applicable to security matters and disaster observation.
