摘要

Systems and methods for calculating the approach speed maneuvers air refueling. The systems include: a) capture means (31) of a sequence of digital frames from the stage of operation located approximation calibrated to know the actual distance corresponding to one pixel of a frame; b) arranged computational means to obtain the coordinates of the relative trajectory of the receiving aircraft (11) relative to the tanker aircraft (13) through the process of a sequence of frames (35, 35 ', 35' ', ...) of approach operation obtained by said capturing means (31) and calculate the speed difference between the receiver aircraft (11) and the tanker aircraft (13) from the path defined by the registered coordinates b1 process). The invention also relates to methods for the calculation of the approach speed.
