- This was an £814k ASTRAEA project led by Richardson at Bristol in collaboration with Madrid University and Cobham Mission Equipment. It was the first-time real-time sensor-in-the-loop testing was used to develop the control systems required for Collaborative and Autonomous Air-to-Air Refuelling (AAAR). This work has formed the basis of Cobham's ongoing AAAR strategy (contact Dave Ireson, R&T Programmes Manager:David.Ireson@cobham.com). Richardson was one of two finalists in the National Instruments Advanced Control competition in 2013 for this work. Results have featured in wider media such as a Royal Institution film: film (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=jfSAiUIctvk) and is one of the TSB case studies (https://connect.innovateuk.org/c/document_library/get_file?p_l_id=55314&folderId=9584368&name=DLFE-105265.pdf).
