“…Automatic Carrier Landing System (ACLS) is developed to relieve the pilot and help the aircraft achieve accurate sink rate and touchdown position in various conditions of sea state, visibility and air turbulence. Usually, ACLS system consists of five components: flight control system, throttle control system, inertial navigation sensors, data link and the shipboard radar system [29]. The shipboard radar system tracks the position of the aircraft and computes the H-dot command or the pitch angle command.…”

This paper focuses on the key issues of landing a carrier-based fixed-wing UAV on the aircraft carrier, especially the autonomous landing system design principles, methods and simulation. According to the differences between piloted and unmanned landing, including the distinction of landing on the land and moving carrier, this paper proposes autonomous landing system design issues and requirements. Adaptive deck motion prediction and compensation is used, with appropriate wave-off decision-making method, while an integrated design of the flight control system and automatic thrust control system is used to follow the glide slope precisely. Finally, based on the designs, an autonomous aircraft carrier landing system is completed and simulated with desired performance.

“…Therefore, the discrete-time model is used to design the control law. From the reference [9], the general flight control system sampling time is slightly less than 0.1 s, so here, let the sampling time be 0.1 s. By using the c2d function in MATLAB, the object can be transformed into a discrete model.…”

Abstract. The response ability and robust performance of carrier based aircraft landing control system are very high. The existing literature has not considered the discrete sampling of carrier landing control, but in fact the discrete sampling has a great influence on the control performance of the system. In this paper, the error state of the discrete linear system is expanded, and the controller is obtained from the error expanded system. This method is used to design the landing continuous dynamics optimal controller under sampling. The simulation results show that the system has good control effect on initial height deviation correction, ship air wake suppression and model perturbation suppression. And its steady-state accuracy, dynamic performance and robustness are much stronger than the carrier landing engineering PID control, even though PID control has no sampling in simulation. The backside area of landing drag curve and the direct force effect of the elevator will each cause two non-minimum phase zeros for the aircraft dynamics. The sampling optimal control method can eliminate the two zero points, while the PID control can only eliminate the former zero point.
