Fixed-Wing UAV Guidance for Autonomous Landing on a Translating Platform
Shalini Suresh, Ashwini Ratnoo · AIAA Scitech 2019 Forum · 2019
This paper addresses the problem of autonomous landing of a fixed wing UAV on a moving and non-maneuvering platform. The UAV altitude is regulated according to its relative horizontal separation with respect to the platform. Additionally, a speed profile is proposed for a smooth convergence to landing speed requirement. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
