Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to autonomous control systems and methods for navigating an aircraft relative to a movable object. The autonomous control system may comprise: a first one or more sensors to track the movable object in a local coordinate frame; a second one or more sensors to track the aircraft in the local coordinate frame; and a flight control system having a processor that is operatively coupled with the first one or more sensors and the second one or more sensors, the flight control system configured to provide pitch, roll, and yaw commands to the aircraft. The processor may be configured to identify a perch point at a predetermined distance relative to the movable object in the local coordinate frame. The perch point may be fixed relative to the movable object. The processor may be configured to navigate, via the flight control system, the aircraft to the perch point as a function of the speed, the position, or the heading of the movable object.

Claim (Index 11):
An autonomous control system for landing an aircraft at a touchdown point of a landing zone, the autonomous control system comprising:\n a plurality of sensors to identify the touchdown point or the landing zone, wherein the plurality of sensors includes a radar sensor and an optical sensor; and a flight control system having a processor that is operatively coupled with the plurality of sensors, the flight control system configured to provide pitch, roll, and yaw commands to the aircraft,\n wherein the processor is configured to determine a speed and a position of the aircraft, \n wherein the processor is configured to locate the landing zone and to navigate, via the flight control system, the aircraft to the landing zone based at least in part on information from the radar sensor, \n wherein the processor is configured to identify a touchdown marker associated with the touchdown point at the landing zone based at least in part on information from the optical sensor, and \n wherein the processor, via the flight control system, is configured to land the aircraft at the landing zone based at least in part on the touchdown marker.
