A system for directing a receiving lobe of an adaptive antenna array toward an aircraft in flight includes an aircraft position vector calculator and an antenna weight vector generator. The aircraft position vector calculator receives aircraft position information from an aircraft tracking service and calculates, based upon the aircraft position information it receives, an aircraft position vector g. An antenna weight vector generator receives the aircraft position vector g from the aircraft position vector calculator and generates, based upon the aircraft position vector g, an antenna element weight vector w. The antenna weight vector w is applied to the elements of an adaptive antenna array to direct a receiving lobe of the array towards an aircraft in flight.

Ce système, permettant de diriger un lobe récepteur d'un réseau d'antennes adaptatives sur un aéronef en vol, comporte un calculateur de vecteur de position de l'aéronef et un générateur de vecteur de poids d'antenne. Le calculateur de vecteur de position reçoit une information de position d'aéronef émanant d'un service de poursuite de l'aéronef et calcule, d'après l'information reçue, un vecteur g de position d'aéronef. Le générateur de vecteur de poids reçoit le vecteur g de position d'aéronef provenant du calculateur de vecteur de position et produit, d'après ce vecteur g, un vecteur w de poids d'élément d'antenne. Ce vecteur w est appliqué aux éléments d'un réseau d'antennes adaptatives afin de diriger un lobe récepteur du réseau vers l'aéronef en vol.
