The article gives a detailed description of a mobile radiotechnical complex with an airship platform for deployment of control radio-antennae for RES tests. The first chapter is devoted to the problem of setting and alignment of antennae with a large aperture and shows the validity of usage for these purposes special complexes whose radio measuring antennae are installed on the platforms of suspended airships. "Kolibri", engineered at Moscow aviation institute, can serve as an example of such an airship. Its parameters are also given in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 provides a description of the purpose and technical characteristics of the airship platform. It dwells upon the structure of the platform, structural scheme of the functional equipment of the complex, methods of connection between the airship platform and ground facilities. Chapter 3 investigates the ground equipment of the complex and gives special attention to the structure, parameters and disposition of the equipment in the basic car UAZ-457, to the trailer of the car, its functions and the structure of its equipment. The system of the airship trip and parking is described in the chapter as well. At the end of the chapter the software composition of the calculating complex is presented. Chapter 4 describes stabilization of spatial orientation of antennae and detection of the airship platform location.
