发明名称 METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENHANCED VISION IN AERIAL REFUELLING OPERATIONS
摘要 The invention relates to a system for providing enhanced vision of the refuelling scenario in aerial refuelling operations between a tanker aircraft (10) having refuelling means and a receiver aircraft, the system comprising: vision means (1) located in the tanker aircraft (10) that comprise at least two cameras (4) which are spatially separated a distance (90) from each other, directed to the observation of the refuelling area (92) where connection between the tanker aircraft (10) and the receiver aircraft occurs, this refuelling area (92) being located at a distance (91) from the cited cameras (4), and monitoring means (30) that are able to receive and display the images coming from the vision means (1), providing the air-refuelling operator with different images, these images representing different perspectives of the refuelling area (92) observed by said vision means (1), the distance (90) being calculated as a function of the distance (91) and the component (d) of the size of the refuelling area (92) in the direction of observation (93), in order to provide the air-refuelling operator with the optimum depth perception, of the refuelling area (92) at the receiver aircraft, such that the connections between the tanker aircraft (10) and the receiver aircraft are precise and accurate. The invention also relates to a method for providing enhanced vision of the refuelling scenario in aerial refuelling operations between a tanker aircraft (10) and a receiver aircraft, and to an aircraft comprising a system as it has been described.
