Abstract

The paper deals with questions of developing the advanced polarimetric landing system for unmanned aerial vehicle of plane type. The proposed polarimetric landing system can also be used for landing the unmanned aerial vehicle of other types. The article considered the existing landing systems for unmanned aerial vehicle as well as proposed the polarimetric landing system for unmanned aerial vehicle, which consists of two parts: the ground-based block (radiation unit) and the on-board block (measurement unit). The .methods for forming the glidepath with the use of polarized radiation and block diagrams of onboard and ground blocks channels are considered in the article. In these conditions, the ground-based block consists of three radiation channels, and the on-board block consists of five measurement channels. The proposed system, potentially, allows determining the attitude of unmanned aerial vehicle during landing, as well as, its deviation from glidepath with high accuracy and sensitivity.  Polarimetric landing system for unmanned aerial vehicle allows providing landing on non-horizontal and moving plane of landing, as well as provide landing by complex trajectory. The formulas for recalculating the measured polarimetric parameters in the attitude parameters of unmanned aerial vehicle and parameters of its position relative to landing surface are given. In article were given result of the mathematical modeling of measurement channel. Based on the results of this modeling, it can be concluded that the dependence of the polarimetric parameters on the deviation of the unmanned aerial vehicle from the glidepath is primarily linear and depends on the attitude of the unmanned aerial vehicle.
