“…In July 1984, the USN signed a full scale development contract with Grumman to upgrade the F-14A with additional avionics to include the introduction of an IRST system for long-range air-to-air detection [ 71 ]. IRST systems work by passively detecting and capturing infrared-specific radiation of target systems, and modern day IRSTs are able to track a target in three dimensions (3D) [ 72 ]. Research is already ongoing towards the integration of IRST information with INS/GNSS information installed onboard a UA, with the use case for the analysis being A3R [ 73 ].…”

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.

“…Infrared imaging temperature measurement has the advantages of being non-contact, highly sensitive, and fast; this approach has a wide temperature range, is capable of night vision, and has high security. Such measurement has been widely applied in the civil fields of high-voltage line inspection and industrial production, as well as in the military fields of reconnaissance and guidance, camouflage design, and detection [1][2][3]. The surface emissivity of a measured object mainly affects the thermal imager.…”

Abstract. Emissivity measurement is the foundation of target infrared radiation characteristic analysis. The theoretical analysis, design, and implementation results of an indirect emissivity measurement approach for field targets are presented. With a blackbody as the active radiation source, an experimental facility is established to alter environmental radiation. Experiments are performed with different samples. Results show that this approach has a maximum error of 1.9% as opposed to that of direct measurement. The experiment verifies the feasibility and accuracy of the proposed method, which could meet the actual needs of in-situ emissivity measurement. The method provides the necessary means for non-contact infrared radiation field analysis.
