“…Having the ability to set both X and Y channels, setting 29X on the tanker aircraft would provide a cooperative range and bearing information to a receiver aircraft that has a 92X set. The fusion of land-based TACAN information with INS/GNSS information already exists to aid in airway navigation [ 68 ].…”

As technologies advance and applications for uncrewed aircraft increase, the capability to conduct automated air-to-air refueling becomes increasingly important. This paper provides a review of required sensors to enable automated air-to-air refueling for an uncrewed aircraft, as well as a review of published research on the topic. Automated air-to-air refueling of uncrewed aircraft eliminates the need for ground infrastructure for intermediate refueling, as well as the need for on-site personnel. Automated air-to-air refueling potentially supports civilian applications such as weather monitoring, surveillance for wildfires, search and rescue, and emergency response, especially when airfields are not available due to natural disasters. For military applications, to enable the Air Wing of the Future to strike at the ranges required for the mission, both crewed and uncrewed aircraft must be capable of air-to-air refueling. To cover the sensors required to complete automated air-to-air refueling, a brief history of air-to-air refueling is presented, followed by a concept of employment for uncrewed aircraft refueling, and finally, a review of the sensors required to complete the different phases of automated air-to-air refueling. To complete uncrewed aircraft refueling, the uncrewed receiver aircraft must have the sensors required to establish communication, determine relative position, decrease separation to astern position, transition to computer vision, position keep during refueling, and separate from the tanker aircraft upon completion of refueling. This paper provides a review of the twelve sensors that would enable the uncrewed aircraft to complete the seven tasks required for automated air-to-air refueling.

“…Fusing all the available information into a blended solution will require synchronization among all contributing sensors [ 29 , 68 , 77 ]. The T&E of sensor fusion engines will require a combination of ground truth data, as well as global and local metrics without ground truth data [ 78 ].…”

Accurate navigation is important for long-range rocket projectile’s precise striking. For getting a stable and high-performance navigation result, a ultra-tight global position system (GPS), inertial measuring unit integration (IMU)-based navigation approach is proposed. In this study, high-accuracy position information output from IMU in a short time to assist the carrier phase tracking in the GPS receiver, and then fused the output information of IMU and GPS based on federated filter. Meanwhile, introduced the cubature kalman filter as the local filter to replace the unscented kalman filter, and improved it with strong tracking principle, then, improved the federated filter with vector sharing theory. Lastly simulation was carried out based on the real ballistic data, from the estimation error statistic figure. The navigation accuracy of the proposed method is higher than traditional method.Defence Science Journal, Vol. 66, No. 1, January 2016, pp. 64-70, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14429/dsj.66.8326
