A system for homing and recharging an unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV, on a landing platform , comprising a plurality of homing layers operative along the radius of an imaginary circle that has the homing target at its center, each homing layer consisting of a respective sub-system provided with location means of increasing accuracy relative to that of a sub-system that operates along said radius farther away, from the center of said circle, and including: - a first sub-system including a global positioning system, by which the UAV is able to be navigated toward the homing target; - a second sub-system comprising radio-frequency systems operable to perform triangulation processes suitable to direct the UAV toward the homing target of the landing platform ; - a third sub-system comprising: a gripping wire being provided with a weight or a shaped part of a locking mechanism at its end or at another point along its length, configured to be released from the UAV toward the landing platform , the landing platform being provided with a mount point for connection with the gripping wire, so that, when a connection is made between the mount point and the gripping wire, the UAV can be pulled toward the landing platform until the UAV reaches the homing target on the landing platform; and an electro-magnetic apparatus located at the homing target, suitable to apply magnetic traction on a loose end of the gripping wire while the UAV is still in the air by the action of a winch located on the UAV, such that a length of the gripping wire between the UAV and the landing platform is reduced and the UAV is pulled to the homing target. - a first sub-system including a global positioning system, by which the UAV is able to be navigated toward the homing target; - a second sub-system comprising radio-frequency systems operable to perform triangulation processes suitable to direct the UAV toward the homing target of the landing platform ; - a third sub-system comprising: a gripping wire being provided with a weight or a shaped part of a locking mechanism at its end or at another point along its length, configured to be released from the UAV toward the landing platform , the landing platform being provided with a mount point for connection with the gripping wire, so that, when a connection is made between the mount point and the gripping wire, the UAV can be pulled toward the landing platform until the UAV reaches the homing target on the landing platform; and an electro-magnetic apparatus located at the homing target, suitable to apply magnetic traction on a loose end of the gripping wire while the UAV is still in the air by the action of a winch located on the UAV, such that a length of the gripping wire between the UAV and the landing platform is reduced and the UAV is pulled to the homing target. a gripping wire being provided with a weight or a shaped part of a locking mechanism at its end or at another point along its length, configured to be released from the UAV toward the landing platform , the landing platform being provided with a mount point for connection with the gripping wire, so that, when a connection is made between the mount point and the gripping wire, the UAV can be pulled toward the landing platform until the UAV reaches the homing target on the landing platform; and an electro-magnetic apparatus located at the homing target, suitable to apply magnetic traction on a loose end of the gripping wire while the UAV is still in the air by the action of a winch located on the UAV, such that a length of the gripping wire between the UAV and the landing platform is reduced and the UAV is pulled to the homing target. <EOS>
