Abstract

Abstract: From the perspective of flight tests, how to evaluate the autonomous aerial refueling (AAR) capability and select key indicators for evaluation is a key problem to be solved for AAR trials. The standards requirements of aerial refueling and manned aircraft aerial refueling experience in China and abroad are analyzed. The total capability of AAR is studied, and key evaluation indicators in the AAR whole process including rendezvous, formation, docking, refueling, and disengagement are proposed. The evaluation method is demonstrated in both numerical simulation and hardware-in-loop test environments. Finally, the key indicators affecting the docking success of AAR are analyzed, and suggestions for evaluation indicators are proposed. The test results can provide a reference for the process design and flight test verification of AAR.
