Embodiment Construction

[0053] Current technological developments in the field of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) include powering the UAVs and / or serving as ground stations for docking areas. However, the UAV does not always efficiently reach these stations when the landing operation is completed, this task is in adverse weather conditions (when the process will be disturbed by external factors such as rain or wind or impaired by low visibility) Especially difficult.

[0054] Autolanding is a difficult task and must be done with great care to avoid damage to the UAV. Various types of automatic landing systems have been proposed. However, none of the previously proposed systems of this type provided a method sufficiently and sufficiently reliable to enable safe autonomous landing in adverse weather conditions. Additionally, there is a need for a system that, in addition to being able to safely land a VTOL UAV, can also guide the UAV to a target location (once la...
