Approach to solving the problem of landing an unmanned aerial vehicle on a moving landing platform

The problem of landing an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) on a moving landing platform was researched. A new method for estimating angular oscillations experienced by a moving landing platform during UAV landing on it is presented. Several short-range beacons are placed on the landing platform, several antenna receivers are installed on board the UAV. The UAV estimates the values of the platform deviation angles from the horizon plane based on the known coordinates of the UAV and the center of the landing platform, which allows effective control of the landing process.
