A review of autonomous docking technologies for an unmanned aircraft carrier
A review of autonomous docking technologies for an unmanned aircraft carrier
Aerial carrier is becoming a hotspot in Remote Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) research area recently. As a variant of the general RPAS swarm, this technology is believed to be promising in both military and civilian applications. For example, it could enhance the safety of a military surveillance mission, it could enlarge the surveillance region coverage and it could extend the communication range of any single RPAS. One essential problem for the realisation of the aerial carrier is the autonomous docking in the air. This paper presents a review of autonomous docking techniques ranging from active LED recognition to passive laser scanning and three-dimensional (3D) remodelling. It is aimed at providing a broad perspective on the statues of the recognition and position estimation problems.

Abstract
Aerial carrier is becoming a hotspot in Remote Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) research area recently. As a variant of the general RPAS swarm, this technology is believed to be promising in both military and civilian applications. For example, it could enhance the safety of a military surveillance mission, it could enlarge the surveillance region coverage and it could extend the communication range of any single RPAS. One essential problem for the realisation of the aerial carrier is the autonomous docking in the air. This paper presents a review of autonomous docking techniques ranging from active LED recognition to passive laser scanning and three-dimensional (3D) remodelling. It is aimed at providing a broad perspective on the statues of the recognition and position estimation problems.
