Abstract
An automated control system for a glider towed by a tug employs a camera mounted on one of the aircraft to view the other (the “target”). An optical recognition system receives images from the camera and determines the relative range and bearing of the target. A controller determines corrections to the flight characteristics of the glider in response to the range and bearing data from the optical recognition system. An interface to the flight controls of the glider maintains the desired flight characteristics of the glider provided by the controller.
