Schematic diagram of UAV shipboard landing process

Caption

 The entire landing process is divided into a tracking phase and a landing phase. During the tracking phase, the UAV is maneuvered to maintain at a close distance above the ship while predicting the ship’s roll and pitch motion online. The landing phase is initiated when an appropriate QP is identified.
