Research abstract

GreenSight (GS) proposes Modular Autonomous Capability for Landing on Uncooperative Vehicles (MACLUV), a modular system enabling a wide range of VTOL unmanned aircraft to land and take off autonomously from moving non-cooperative targets. GS has industry-leading experience across multiple decades developing various autonomous landing, recovery, and takeoff systems for both cooperative and uncooperative landing scenarios on USVs, wires, ground vehicles, docking stations, and drone charging hives. GS’s MACLUV approach uses a combination of reinforcement learning coupled with stereo vision and 3D reconstruction to reliably and precisely plan and execute a landing trajectory to a user-specified landing location on the non-cooperative target. GS has both the software experience to execute this project and commercialized hardware systems to build a low SWaPC system that can be easily integrated with existing and future VTOL SUAS that require this capability.
