Airbus Advances Autonomous Aerial Refuelling
Airbus has made significant progress in autonomous in-flight refuelling with its latest Auto’Mate flight test in November 2023, showcasing advanced AI-based navigation and control technologies. The test involved an A310 MRTT tanker and five unmanned drones (including two digital twins), demonstrating the capability of aerial tankers to autonomously guide and refuel receiver aircraft without human intervention. This breakthrough, part of Airbus' wider efforts in enhancing flight safety and efficiency, paves the way for future autonomous tankers and non-piloted combat air vehicles, potentially transforming both military and civil aviation sectors.
