“…There are solutions that consist of a landing pad with no positioning systems and only wireless charging for the battery, such as [31][32][33][34][35]. It is a great way to keep a UAV charged if long routes should be crossed, but it can also be used to keep a UAV charged with no additional equipment needed on the docking station.…”

“…Some of them are Unmanned Ground Vehicles which have landing systems mounted on, like in [65][66][67][68][69][70][71]. The UGV can be used to swap the battery of a UAV, like in [72] or to wirelessly charge the battery- [35,73,74]. The UGV solutions for mobile docking stations are the most often used solutions since UAVs are mostly used above land.…”

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles have advanced rapidly in the last two decades with the advances in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. It is crucial, however, to design better power supply technologies. In the last decade, lithium polymer and lithium-ion batteries have mainly been used to power multirotor UAVs. Even though batteries have been improved and are constantly being improved, they provide fairly low energy density, which limits multirotors’ UAV flight endurance. This problem is addressed and is being partially solved by using docking stations which provide an aircraft to land safely, charge (or change) the batteries and to take-off as well as being safely stored. This paper focuses on the work carried out in the last decade. Different docking stations are presented with a focus on their movement abilities. Rapid advances in computer vision systems gave birth to precise landing systems. These algorithms are the main reason that docking stations became a viable solution. The authors concluded that the docking station solution to short ranges is a viable option, and numerous extensive studies have been carried out that offer different solutions, but only some types, mainly fixed stations with storage systems, have been implemented and are being used today. This can be seen from the commercially available list of docking stations at the end of this paper. Nevertheless, it is important to be aware of the technologies being developed and implemented, which can offer solutions to a vast number of different problems.

“…The paper proposed a polarimetric landing system for UAVs, which relies on the same basic principles as the MLS. Shirokova et al carried out a study in which precision positioning of a UAV during landing is discussed [14]. They propose a solution by utilizing a microwave phase radio for object positioning.…”

In this paper a review is made of the History, Fundamental principle, and Architecture of Instrument Landing System (ILS) RF Circuits in the Receiver and Transmitter Antenna Array. The study was motivated by a need to cater to the increasing availability and use of aerial vehicles such as drones and that the conventional landing system is insuf􀅫icient and risks being overwhelmed, thus this study aims to explore alternative paths and particularly the option of the MLS as a possible cure. The paper describes the Localizer and Glide path of the System. This paper gives small introduction of Microwave Landing System (MLS) and Enhance ILS Category-I Category-II Category-III is used. An additional purpose served by this study is to layout the requirements that an MLS would require in regard to its implementation and what factors would need to be considered by any organization willing to implement the system. The argument is built up by 􀅫irst assessing the existing infrastructure of landing systems; their origins and effectiveness, following this, the advances system such as the MLS are introduced, their current applications and potential are discussed. A comparison is made between the two to highlight the superiority of the MLS. The study carried out in this paper 􀅫inds the limitations in the ILS method as they are only capable of carrying out landing in a straight path and further limited by geography. MLS on the other hand is more versatile and is capable of carrying out multiple landing approaches across multiple curved paths for a single installation. The study examines the advantages of implementing the MLS system in Pakistan.
