A microprocessor controls a radar trilateralization system, used on board an aircraft to provide pattern flying. A suitable hard wired board may be added to the microprocessor to enable it to read out any suitable flight pattern. A plurality of transponders are set up at known positions to establish a baseline. Then, by using known radar techniques, the system feeds radar derived, distance information into the microprocessor. The microprocessor calculates the airplane\s position from these radar signals, relates that position to the X, Y grid locations in a desired flight pattern, and then gives an instrument readout. The pilot keeps a display of the instrument over an appropriate index, and the airplane flies over the entire predetermined flight pattern.

A vehicular radar guidance system comprising memory means associated with said vehicle for storing an arbitrarily selected predetermined vehicle travel pattern, means responsive to the receipt of radar signals for continuously detecting distances between a vehicle and the two ends of a baseline, means responsive to the detected distances for continuously and automatically displaying a signal of a vehicular course which may be followed to inherently cause said vehicle to follow said predetermined travel pattern, and means onboard said vehicle for rejecting detected distances which are inconsistent with previously detected distances.
