Abstract

Guidance law is so important that determines whether the autonomous aerial refueling (AAR) of UAV will success. Based on the analysis of the Strategy of Rendezvous for AAR of UAV, different guidance laws for the tanker aircraft and the receiver air craft has put forward. A nonlinear lateral trajectory tracking guidance law is well apply to solve the problem of the guidance to tanker receiver and a trajectory has been designed for the receiver aircraft to solve the problem of the two air crafts to approach well, simulation is also carried out for the methods.
