Abstract:
An expedient spectral range of radiation sources for use in the automatic landing system of unmanned aerial vehicles has been substantiated. A method is proposed for synchronizing the photoexposure of the computer vision system and radiation from landmarks for the unambiguous determination of their mutual position. Results of the experimental studies are presented.

Keywords:
unmanned aerial vehicle, landing system, infrared range, contrast reference point, laser radiation, pulse mode.
