  • Patent number: 4899161
    Abstract: A computer method is disclosed for accurately transforming multiple radar observations of aircraft into a common coordinate system for air traffic control applications. The method involves a transformation from radar observables of the target slant range, azimuth and altitude to the target position coordinates in a stereographic system plane for display. The method includes a conformal coordinate conversion process from geodetic to conformal spherical coordinates followed by a conformal stereographic projection process onto a system display plane. The resulting display of aircraft position on the system plane is more accurate than has been available in the prior art.
