Analysis and Design of an Electro-Mechanical Optical Landing System for Helicopters at Night in Varying Sea States,

Abstract

This paper contains an analysis and design of an optical landing system for landing helicopters on small ships at night in heavy seas. The work involves analyzing an existing landing light and ship motions. From this analysis a platform capable of stabilizing the landing light was designed. (Author)
