INTELLIGENT CONTROL SYSTEMS FOR WING-IN-GROUND EFFECT VEHICLES

AbstractIn the paper a scientific and technological analysis has been presented for the viability, advantages and highly successful prospects for the realization of an Autonomous and Intelligent Wing-In-Ground Effect Vehicle mainly for Coastal Patrolling and Search & Rescue Operations. The necessary Autopilots and Automatic Control Systems have been proposed and described especially considering such vehicles for their various modes of motion. Also has been described the special Phase-Radioaltimeter created in IIAAT for such purposes and missions. Some alternate sources of power and energy for such systems for round the clock sea surveillance have also been suggested for such highly promising and highly advanced next generation intellectual amphibious vehicles.
