Book Description
Briefing reports on multi-vehicle wind tunnel tests conducted by Bihrle to obtain interaction data between a KC-135 tanker and a UAV receiver. The data will be used to develop a refueling simulation to evaluate controllability and preliminary automated designs for UAV refueling. The briefing discusses use of this data with a combination of automatic refueling and collision avoidance. This is very preliminary data on interactions. It has military application for advanced UAV refueling.

Book Description
The integration of uninhabited aerial vehicles (UAVs) into controlled airspace has generated a new era of autonomous technologies and challenges. Autonomous aerial refueling would enable UAVs to travel further distances and loiter for extended periods over time-critical targets. The NASA Dryden Flight Research Center recently has completed a flight research project directed at developing a dynamic hose and drogue system model to support the development of an automated aerial refueling system. A systematic dynamic model of the hose and drogue system would include the effects of various influences on the system, such as flight condition, hose and drogue type, tanker type and weight, receiver type, and tanker and receiver maneuvering. Using two NASA F/A-18 aircraft and a conventional hose and drogue aerial refueling store from the Navy, NASA has obtained flight research data that document the response of the hose and drogue system to these effects. Preliminary results, salient trends, and important lessons are presentedHansen, Jennifer L. and Murray, James E. and Campos, Norma V.Armstrong Flight Research CenterAIR TO AIR REFUELING; DYNAMIC MODELS; AUTONOMY; F-18 AIRCRAFT; TIME DEPENDENCE

Book Description
This report presents the results of Project SELF SERVE, Limited Evaluation of Autonomous Aerial Refueling Algorithm. The overall test objective was to gather flight test data of the Automated Aerial Refueling algorithm for the Air Force Research Laboratory. The USAF Test Pilot School, Class 03B, conducted 4 flight test sorties totaling 6.5 hours at Edwards AFB, California, from 3 May to 4 May 04. All test objectives were met.

Book Description
The purpose of this project was to provide a preliminary air refueling tanker aircraft model in the D-Six desktop simulation environment capable of flying a racetrack pattern and a small number of simple maneuvers. The aircraft used is a relatively simple DC-8 model, pictured in the simulation as a KC-135. This model will enable research to be conducted on automated aerial refueling algorithms by engineers at the Air Force Research Laboratory.

Book Description
This presentation was prepared for the 2007 Aerial Refueling Systems Advisory Group (ARSAG) conference to update the status of the Automated Aerial Refueling (AAR) program at the Air Force Research Laboratory. The AAR technology suite has application to both manned and unmanned vehicles. For unmanned vehicles, AAR allows eliminates the tyranny of fuel, allowing unmanned vehicles to be based, deployed, and employed like manned systems. Furthermore as manned mission durations increase, aerial refueling becomes more and more strenuous on the pilot. AAR seeks to reduce the workload in cockpit and provide a in-weather refueling capability. Also, this technology allows manned or unmanned platforms to fly formation in IFR conditions.

Book Description
The Air Force has recognized a growing need for an air refueling capability on Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) as these programs have developed. Such a capability will allow the UAVs to deploy into theater, extend their combat range and add to their persistence in the battle area. The Air Force Research Laboratory's (AFRL's) Human Effectiveness Directorate, Warfighter Interface Division, System Control Interface Branch's (AFRL/HECI) Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle - Operator/Vehicle Interface (UCAV-OVI) Laboratory has developed prototype control station interfaces for controlling multiple unmanned air vehicles during the air refueling phase of flight. A simulation evaluation was initiated to allow various subject matter experts (SMEs) the opportunity to review and comment upon the features and preliminary design concepts of these display interfaces. As a baseline evaluation, the intent was to collect subjective data and determine if there were any major flaws with the design. The SMEs provided excellent comments and suggestions and there were no major obstacles to completing the air refueling task.
