Abstract: In the course of carr ier landing, the baseline of the deck is being moved randomly due to the deck mot ion,which is very dangerous for safety landing. In or der to r educe the lateral deviation, the lateral deck mot ion compensation technique is discussed. In this paper, the deck motion tr acing filter and the lateral deck motion compensationsignalmodel are designed. The configur ation of the lateral automatic carrier landing system with the lateral deck motion compensation is also established. The simulation results show that the lateral deck motion compensation technique can effectively r educe the later al landing err or and increase the landing precision.

Key words: flight control, carrier based aircraft, deck motion, lateral deck motion compensation
