    随着技术的进步和无人驾驶飞机应用的增加,进行自动空中加油的能力变得越来越重要。本文提供了对所需传感器的审查,以使自动空对空加油的飞机,以及对该主题已发表研究的评论。无人飞机的自动空中加油消除了对地面基础设施进行中间加油的需求,以及现场人员的需要。自动空中加油可能支持民用应用,如天气监测,监视野火,搜索和救援,应急响应,特别是当机场因自然灾害而无法使用时。对于军事应用,为了使未来空军能够在任务所需的范围内进行打击,机组人员和非机组人员必须能够进行空中加油。要覆盖完成自动空对空加油所需的传感器,简要介绍了空中加油的历史,其次是无人员飞机加油的就业概念,最后,审查完成自动空对空加油不同阶段所需的传感器。完成无人飞机加油,无人接收飞机必须具有建立通信所需的传感器,确定相对位置,减少分离到后退位置,过渡到计算机视觉,在加油期间保持位置,并在加油完成后与加油机分开。本文对12个传感器进行了回顾,这些传感器将使未机组人员的飞机能够完成自动空中加油所需的七个任务。
    As technologies advance and applications for uncrewed aircraft increase, the capability to conduct automated air-to-air refueling becomes increasingly important. This paper provides a review of required sensors to enable automated air-to-air refueling for an uncrewed aircraft, as well as a review of published research on the topic. Automated air-to-air refueling of uncrewed aircraft eliminates the need for ground infrastructure for intermediate refueling, as well as the need for on-site personnel. Automated air-to-air refueling potentially supports civilian applications such as weather monitoring, surveillance for wildfires, search and rescue, and emergency response, especially when airfields are not available due to natural disasters. For military applications, to enable the Air Wing of the Future to strike at the ranges required for the mission, both crewed and uncrewed aircraft must be capable of air-to-air refueling. To cover the sensors required to complete automated air-to-air refueling, a brief history of air-to-air refueling is presented, followed by a concept of employment for uncrewed aircraft refueling, and finally, a review of the sensors required to complete the different phases of automated air-to-air refueling. To complete uncrewed aircraft refueling, the uncrewed receiver aircraft must have the sensors required to establish communication, determine relative position, decrease separation to astern position, transition to computer vision, position keep during refueling, and separate from the tanker aircraft upon completion of refueling. This paper provides a review of the twelve sensors that would enable the uncrewed aircraft to complete the seven tasks required for automated air-to-air refueling.
