UCARS-V2 Shipboard Autoland System

The UCARS-V2 was developed to provide day/night, all-weather, automatic landing and takeoff capabilities for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Systems (UAVs) operating from shipboard and/or fixed-base land environments. The UCARS-V2 is a direct descendent of the UCARS UPN-51 system that is in service today with the United States Marine Corps Pioneer UAV. The UCARS-V2 is capable of interfacing with virtually any UAV; providing automatic landing capability ranging from a simple position sensor for air-derived guidance systems to a fully integrated, ground derived air vehicle controller. UCARS-V2 consists of two primary components: a ground based radar track subsystem (TS) and an air vehicle mounted airborne transponder subsystem (AS). UCARS-V2 can also provide an automatic take-off capability for both fixed and rotary wing UAVs. UCARS-V2 has been integrated to perform automatic take-off and/or landing operations on numerous different UAS.
