Abstract:

Automatic carrier landing of carrier-based aircraft is a complex system engineering. This paper summarizes the development of automatic carrier landing system (ACLS) and key techniques of guidance and control for carrier landing. The development history and design specification of the ACLS are described. The basic framework and operational principle of the ACLS are discussed in detail. Based on the summary of automatic carrier landing guidance and control key problems of carrier-based aircraft, the development of key techniques of automatic carrier landing is summarized and analyzed, including the aircraft mathematical modeling, carrier landing guidance, carrier landing flight control, power compensation and auto-throttle control, flight deck modeling, prediction and compensation, airwake modeling and restrain, radar noise restrain and error correct, wave-off and bolt decision and control. A conclusion of the research findings of automatic carrier landing guidance and control is given, and future development trends are forecasted.

Key words: carrier-based aircraft, automatic carrier landing system (ACLS), guidance, flight control, aircraft carrier
