Abstract

The article presents the results of the synthesis of the composition of the radio engineering system, which provides automatic guidance at the final stage of the trajectory and a high-precision landing of an unmanned aerial vehicle on a highly maneuverable autonomous robotic carrier vehicle. This allows, for example, to significantly expand the search area during search and rescue operations in emergency situations by repeatedly using the same unmanned aerial vehicle. The article substantiates the importance of integrating the functionality of ground-based and aerial robotic systems. It is shown that the preliminary guidance of an unmanned aircraft-type vehicle to a moving target located at a long distance is possible on the basis of data from satellite navigation systems by solving the standard navigational problem of bringing the aircraft to the rear hemisphere of the moving target. The classifications of classical methods of guidance and homing of aircraft are considered, and their comparative analysis is performed. Based on the results, it is concluded that only the pursuit method allows for the complete automatic landing of the aircraft at any initial angle relative to the transport platform. It is shown that at short distances, the error of satellite navigation exceeds the permissible values, so a second, more accurate level of guidance is used at short distances – a radio-technical system of close guidance. The justification and calculations of a complex composite antenna system of the transmitter are given, and the block diagram of a radio-technical system of high-precision guidance of aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles for landing on moving highly maneuverable robotic vehicles is shown. The basic provisions of the phase method of direction finding are presented, which allows the required accuracy to be achieved in measuring the direction in space to the carrier vehicle.
In the development of this topic, an analysis of promising methods for landing and holding unmanned aerial vehicles on board a robotic carrier vehicle after the unmanned aerial vehicle touches the landing platform is carried out. In addition, a description of typical functions that are performed on the robotic platform after the unmanned aerial vehicle is held and fixed is provided.
