Determination of the scope and operating conditions of the complex for providing search and rescue operations of helicopters

Abstract

Carrying out search and rescue operations in a unified aviation search system is associated with the use of duty search and rescue aircraft, and, consequently, with the tasks of ensuring flight safety. The greatest danger for helicopter flights at extremely low altitudes are subtle obstacles that are poorly detected by visual observation at night and in conditions of insufficient visibility associated with meteorological factors. A structural and functional scheme of the complex for providing search and rescue operations using helicopters in the Arctic zone is proposed, its composition is shown, the performance characteristics of the main modules and the main modes of visualization of the outside environment are indicated. The solution to the problem of creating a complex is relevant, since it allows visualizing small-sized obstacles along the flight path, in coastal sea areas, on the sea surface, as well as warning the crew about approaching them, providing pilots with additional information about the underlying surface when landing on an unequipped site
