- This paper was published from work on the ASTRAEA programme concerning integration of unmanned aerial vehicles in UK unsegregated airspace, and specifically on air-to-air refuelling of future unmanned aerial vehicles. This was in collaboration with Cobham Mission Systems and Cranfield University. A novel control technique was created for flying boom receiving aircraft in the framework of collaborative (also called intimate) control. The control approach is demonstrably useful in improving the efficiency and capture rate of docking in turbulent conditions. The simulation framework created in the study was used to support other research and demonstration work for the ASTRAEA programme
