Abstract
The take-off and landing of shipborne unmanned helicopters are the most dangerous parts in the process of its dispatch and recovery. By comparing and analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of surface aviation support system for helicopter among the navies of different countries, the key technologies of the take-off and landing process of shipborne unmanned helicopter are summarized. In order to solve problems such as the difficulties of autonomous take-off and landing of shipborne UAVs, a three-stage strategy in landing process is proposed for a 300-tons ship and a 350 kg-class unmanned helicopter, and a real-time forecasting algorithm is used to predict the motion of the deck. Simulation results verify the feasibility of the proposed strategy and the effectiveness of the forecasting algorithm based on FlightGear software, which lays a theoretical foundation to carry out the ship-aircraft adaptability test of shipborne unmanned helicopter and dramatically reducing the risk of the test.
