The U.S. Navy has awarded a contract to Bombardier Services for the further evaluation of the CL-327 Guardian unmanned air vehicle. Bombardier will now integrate the Sierra Nevada UCARS automatic landing system with the CL-327 and demonstrate the UAV aboard a U.S. Navy ship.

Le papier présente la conception d’un système d’appontage automatique d’un drone de type hélicoptère sur un navire. Le système que nous proposons inclut la localisation relative du drone par rapport au navire dans un repère quasi inertiel, ainsi que la stratégie de guidage en vue d’assurer son rendez-vous sur une plate-forme d’appontage. Pour cela des techniques de prédiction des mouvements du navire sont nécessaires pour garantir l'appontage avec une précision suffisante. L'intérêt de l'approche proposée vient du fait que la localisation, le pilotage et le guidage du drone sont réalisés de manière découplé des mouvements du navire. Nous présentons l'organisation en capteurs nécessaire dans la phase finale de récupération ainsi que l'architecture générale du système. Des résultats de simulation montrent que cette approche est beaucoup plus robuste que des techniques conventionnelles. Ils montrent notamment que l'appontage est possible malgré des conditions de mer relativement sévères. 2, record 3, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20d%26rsquo%3Bappontage%20automatique%20UCARS
