Abstract :
The classification of navigational radar landmarks and the principles of their display at automatic radar mapping are proposed. Selection algorithms of each type of navigational landmarks are developed. The priority of navigational landmark classes is established, and the scheme of the combining different channels is designed. The automated recognition of landmarks and radar mapping is implemented in a new airborne weather radar.
