An assisted in-flight refuelling system (1) having a tanker aircraft (2) equipped with a drogue (4); a fuel take-on aircraft (5) equipped with a probe (6); and a drogue-probe coupling assist system (7) designed to determine a first distance (B-C) between the drogue (4) and the take-on aircraft (5) /probe (6), a second distance (A-B) between the tanker aircraft (2) and the drogue (4), and a third distance (A-C) between the tanker aircraft (2) and the take-on aircraft (5). The drogue-probe coupling assist system (7) is also designed to determine information relative to the necessary movement of the drogue (4) and/or the necessary movement of the take-on aircraft (5) to couple the drogue to the probe, as a function of the first (B-C), second (A-B), and third (A-C) distance. |
