“…For the LOS data link, both the GCS and UA must have a radio installed, such as a software-defined radio (SDR) [ 57 ] or a purpose-built radio, capable of producing a LOS data link waveform and an aperture capable of transmitting and receiving the waveform. LOS data links employed by the DoD include the older Link-11 waveform in a high-frequency Band (HF, 2 to 30 MHz) [ 58 ], the modern-day Link-16 waveform in the L Band (960 to 1215 MHz) [ 57 ], and newer waveforms to include the Multifunction Advanced Data Link (MADL) used on modern day fifth-generation fighters [ 59 ]. At the time of publication, no additional information was available about MADL.…”

As technologies advance and applications for uncrewed aircraft increase, the capability to conduct automated air-to-air refueling becomes increasingly important. This paper provides a review of required sensors to enable automated air-to-air refueling for an uncrewed aircraft, as well as a review of published research on the topic. Automated air-to-air refueling of uncrewed aircraft eliminates the need for ground infrastructure for intermediate refueling, as well as the need for on-site personnel. Automated air-to-air refueling potentially supports civilian applications such as weather monitoring, surveillance for wildfires, search and rescue, and emergency response, especially when airfields are not available due to natural disasters. For military applications, to enable the Air Wing of the Future to strike at the ranges required for the mission, both crewed and uncrewed aircraft must be capable of air-to-air refueling. To cover the sensors required to complete automated air-to-air refueling, a brief history of air-to-air refueling is presented, followed by a concept of employment for uncrewed aircraft refueling, and finally, a review of the sensors required to complete the different phases of automated air-to-air refueling. To complete uncrewed aircraft refueling, the uncrewed receiver aircraft must have the sensors required to establish communication, determine relative position, decrease separation to astern position, transition to computer vision, position keep during refueling, and separate from the tanker aircraft upon completion of refueling. This paper provides a review of the twelve sensors that would enable the uncrewed aircraft to complete the seven tasks required for automated air-to-air refueling.

“…Although several works are aiming at performance improvement of TDL in different scenarios [22][23][24][25][26][27], they all ignore the problem of multi-domain cooperation and automation issue in TDL. In particular, they cannot achieve adaptive and automatic data transmission control in TDL.…”

Tactical Data Link (TDL) is a communication system that utilizes a particular message format and a protocol to transmit data via wireless channels in an instant, automatic, and secure way. So far, TDL has shown its excellence in military applications. Current TDL adopts a distributed architecture to enhance anti-destruction capacity. However, It still faces a problem of data inconsistency and thus cannot well support cooperation across multiple militarily domains. To tackle this problem, we propose to leverage blockchain to build an automatic and adaptive data transmission control scheme for TDL. It achieves automatic data transmission and realizes information consistency among different TDL entities. Besides, applying smart contracts based on blockchain further enables adjusting data transmission policies automatically. Security analysis and experimental results based on simulations illustrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed scheme.
