ABSTRACT:
An airborne system is disclosed for determining the position of an aerial vehicle. According to the invention, a first memory is provided containing the general characteristics of different types of discrete landmarks and a second memory containing the geographic position of such landmarks on the ground to be flown over, a device for extracting, from the signals delivered by sensitive means, the general characteristics of said different types of discrete landmarks located on the ground being flown over, and a device for computing from the signals delivered by said sensitive means the relative positions of said vehicle with respect to said recognized landmarks, which it feeds to Kalman filter means.
