Abstract
We have developed stochastic algorithms to simulate signals detected by a receiver of a laser navigation system designed for safe aircraft landing. Radiant flux and radiance at the receiver, as well as the contribution of radiation of different orders of scattering are estimated by a Monte Carlo method. Computation results show that the proposed algorithms allow one to study the efficiency of the laser navigation system in various conditions.
