“…As SWaP-C decreases with increases in technology, consideration should be given to adding an A/A radar, an IRST, or an EO/IR system to a UA. Along with providing ranging information to aircraft within the operating area, the target aspect, bearing angle, speed, and closure rates could also be calculated using the same sensors with the assistance of a fusion engine to correlate the information [ 66 ]. These sensors would also enable the UA to provide additional information during ISR-T missions while increasing the overall situation awareness available to the AVO.…”

“…Multiple UAs already have a X frequency band radar for Synthetic Aperture Radar mapping in support of ISR-T missions to include Predator B, Global Hawk, and Gray Eagle [ 66 , 69 ]. While previous research focused on using a X-band radar to assist in collision avoidance, this type of technology demonstrates the ability of a UA to fuse radar information to assist in navigation [ 70 ].…”

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.
