Abstract. For aeronautical goniometric systems for radio monitoring of radio emission sources (RES), one of the primary tasks is the identification of bearings. It is especially difficult to solve the problem of identifying bearings if there are several RESs in the observation area in the case when they are located in the same plane with the direction finders. In this case, the problem of identifying bearings in goniometric two-position systems is solved in the process of performing a two-stage procedure. At the first stage, the primary identification of single measurements of bearings is carried out separately at each receiving position (RP) when receiving radio signals from the RES, and at the second stage, the secondary (inter-positional) identification of bearings arriving from both RPs is carried out. In the initial identification, strobe and strobeless identification algorithms are used. In the secondary identification for selection of true and false points of intersection of bearings on the plane, it is proposed to use the kinematic parameters of the relative RES. However, this type of selection does not provide interposition identification with an arbitrary nature of the movement of the RES relative to the RP, and also assumes a constant angular position of the RP base on the plane. More practical are ways of identifying bearings with RES, in which the procedure for constructing a confidence region (CR) in the form of a circle with a certain radius is used. However, a more correct form of CR is an elliptical CR, since the errors in determining the position of the RES are characterized by an error ellipse, a particular case of which is a circle. Therefore, methods for identifying coordinate information have been developed, in which elliptical CRs are used. In this case, not only the bearings of the RES, but also other measured parameters, for example, estimates of the rectangular coordinates of the RES, calculated on the basis of the triangulation method, can be used as coordinate information. The purpose of the article is to systematize and analyze the developed methods for identifying bearings, which allow one to get a fairly general idea of how to solve the problem of identifying bearings and indirect measurements of the coordinates of radio emission sources in aviation goniometric two-position radio monitoring systems. As a result, a classification of identification methods is given. The existing possibilities and limitations of using various identification methods in solving radio monitoring problems are analyzed. The necessary information on the methods and algorithms for interpositional identification of coordinate information about the position of the RES, using ellipsoidal CRs in solving the identification problem, is given. The practical significance of the presented methods is to increase the likelihood of correct identification of coordinate information, as well as the accuracy of the positioning of RES due to the use of elliptical CRs, which more accurately reflect the regularity of the distribution of errors in determining the position of RES.
