Description
OKSI proposes to design an optical system to support automated landing of fixed wing aircraft on carriers. The Carrier Automated Beacon Landing Enhancement (CABLE) system will utilize augmented beacon lighting located on the ship and optimized imaging system on the aircraft. Automated software will extract observed light positions combined with onboard INS to produce aircraft relative position and attitude. These measurements will be provided to a Kalman Filter to compute the aircraft control to maintain the desired glide path to carrier landing.
