The movement along the glide path of an unmanned aerial vehicle during landing on an aircraft carrier is investigated. The implementation of this task is realized in the conditions of radio silence of the aircraft carrier. The algorithm for treatment information from an optical landing system installed on an aircraft carrier is developed. The algorithm of the color signal recognition assumes the usage of the image frame preliminary treatment method via a downsample function, that performs the decimation process, the HSV model, the Otsu’s method for calculating the binarization threshold for a halftone image, and the method of separating the connected Two-Pass components. Keywords unmanned aerial vehicle; aircraft carrier; approach; glide path; optical landing system; color signal recognition algorithm; decimation; connected components; halftone image binarization

Рассмотрен потенциал возможностей светотехнических мобильных навигационных комплексов, обеспечивающих дальний привод летательных аппаратов по глиссаде. Основа комплекса – ​суперяркие монохромные светодиоды производства компании ООО «НПЦ ОЭП «ОПТЭЛ». Для сравнения характеристик светодиодов для задач навигации выбран новый параметр – ​распределение освещенности в плоскости, перпендикулярной оптической оси светодиода. Параметр влияет на массо-­габаритные и тактико-­технические характеристики проектируемых изделий. The article discusses the possibility of creating lighting mobile navigation systems that provide long-range drive of aircraft along the glide path. System base – ​monochrome LEDs of LLC SPCOD “OPTEL”. A new parameter was proposed for navigation issues – ​the distribution of illumination in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the LED. The parameter affects the overall dimensions and tactical and technical characteristics of the designed products.

The paper presents automatic control of an aircraft in the longitudinal channel during automatic landing. There are two crucial components of the system presented in the paper: a vision system and an automatic landing system. The vision system processes pictures of dedicated on-ground signs which appear to an on-board video camera to determine a glide path. Image processing algorithms used by the system were implemented into an embedded system and tested under laboratory conditions according to the hardware-in-the-loop method. An output from the vision system was used as one of the input signals to an automatic landing system. The major components are control algorithms based on the fuzzy logic expert system. They were created to imitate pilot actions while landing the aircraft. Both systems were connected with one another for cooperation and to control an aircraft model in a simulation environment. Selected results of tests presenting control efficiency and precision are shown in the final section of the paper.

Low-level wind shear is usually to be a rapidly changing meteorological phenomenon that cannot be ignored in aviation security service by affecting the air speed of landing and take-off aircrafts. The lidar team in Ocean University of China (OUC) carried out the long term particular researches on the low-level wind shear identification and regional wind shear inducement search at Beijing Capital International Airport (BCIA) from 2015 to 2020 by operating several pulsed coherent Doppler lidar (PCDL) systems. On account of the improved glide path scanning strategy and virtual multiple wind anemometers based on the rang height indicator (RHI) modes, the small-scale meteorological phenomenon along the glide path and/or runway center line direction can be captured. In this paper, the device configuration, scanning strategies, and results of the observation data are proposed. The algorithms to identify the low-level wind shear based on the reconstructed headwind profiles data have been tested and proved based on the lidar data obtained from December 2018 to January 2019. High spatial resolution observation data at vertical direction are utilized to study the regional wind shear inducement at the 36L end of BCIA under strong northwest wind conditions.
