Abstract:
A control system for an aircraft refueling boom controls the movements of the boom in certain areas in a total field of movement volume of possible boom movements based on the location of the boom in the total field of movement volume and based on the current rate of movement of the boom in the total field of movement volume.

Claim (Index 21):
A method of insuring safe movements of a refueling boom comprising:\n controlling movements of the refueling boom in a central movement volume relative to the refueling boom; controlling movements of the refueling boom in a restricted movement volume relative to the refueling boom where the restricted movement volume extends around the central movement volume; sensing a position of the refueling boom in the central movement volume; sensing a position of the refueling boom in the restricted movement volume; controlling movements of the refueling boom in response to only input control signals when the position of the refueling boom is sensed in the central movement volume; and, controlling movements of the refueling boom in response to input control signals and feedback output signals when the position of the refueling boom is sensed in the restricted movement volume.
