Automatic landing on aircraft carrier by visual servoing

, 2012
The aircraft landing on carrier remains a very challenging task whose success affects the efficiency of the entire aeronaval group. In the French Navy, aiding systems improve the pilot perception during the approach toward the carrier. However no automatic landing system currently exist. This kind of system will be required for use of UAV.

Safety-Guaranteed Go-Around Decision Framework Based on Funnel for Automatic Carrier Landing Systems

Aerospace
Existing go-around decision methods for Automatic Carrier Landing Systems (ACLSs) are mainly based on altitude deviation. The safe region implied by these methods is therefore effectively single-dimensional, which can lead to overly conservative and ...
