UAV Deck Recovery Stability Analysis

Abstract

A manned or unmanned helicopter-ship qualification program (Dynamic Interface Testing) evaluates, improves, and/or develops all aspects of shipboard helicopter compatibility. Issues addressed during a test may include the adequacy,effectiveness, and safety of shipboard aviation support facilities and helicopter recovery procedures. Manned and unmanned aircraft share a number of common issues as those related to deck handling, repositioning, tie down, refueling and maintenance tasks. Procedures are further affected by the ability of an aircraft to land and remain on deck, in a controlled or restrained condition from the moment of touch-down to aircraft deck handling and tie down anchor regardless of the environmental conditions.
