Project Details
Goal of the project
Maritime unmanned aerial systems (UAS) have become an increasingly valuable tool for military operations, especially in the naval domain. However, one of the key challenges of using maritime UAS is the safe manual landing and taking-off from moving vessels, coping with the six-degree movements of the vessel through diverse weather and sea conditions. To overcome this challenge, the SAILS concept aims to develop an advanced multi sensor system, enabling the autonomous operation of maritime UAS. SAILS will focus on selecting the best technology and implementing algorithms to automate the final approach and a safe landing of the UAV on a moving vessel.
