System and method for assisting the deck landing of an aircraft

摘要

The system (600) has a determination unit (603) for determining flight commands to be executed by a rotary wing aircraft (100). A locating unit (601) is arranged for locating the aircraft. A prediction unit (602) extrapolates movements of a mobile platform (102). The locating unit comprises two passive sensors (201, 202) spaced apart from each other and fixed in proximity to a decking surface, so as to receive signals transmitted by the aircraft. The sensor is a panel fixed in a plane substantially orthogonal to the decking surface. An independent claim is also included for a method for assisting deck-landing of an aircraft on a mobile platform.
