Design of an Auxiliary Training System for Aerial Refueling Training

In order to assist pilots in ground-based aerial refueling training with more realistic scenarios and lower costs, this paper proposes an auxiliary system for pilots to train aerial refueling docking. This system consists of a computer-based high-fidelity simulation system and an external joystick, allowing the control of the entire docking process using the joystick. The system utilizes the powerful Unity engine to render the aerial refueling scene, making the flight training simulation more realistic and facilitating seamless transition between actual operation and simulation. Additionally, the system designs a guide to assist pilots in docking. By predicting and generating a suggested docking position considering external disturbances, the guide unit provides pilots with a reliable docking position and improves the success rate of docking.
