Assessment of the influence of radiowaves propagation conditions on the operation of the high-frequency direction finding positioning system in the Antarctic conditions

There are significant difficulties in air traffic control during the radar operation in the Antarctic. The cost of radar installations is high, and a large number of radars is needed for long routes (about 1000 km or more). To solve this problem, the construction of a direction finding positioning system (DFPS) is needed. The results of the processing of the experimental data and zones of the DFPS operation for different radiowave propagation conditions are given.
