Abstract

See full text

A system and method for flying an aircraft is disclosed. A perception system at the aircraft tracks a trajectory of a moving object. A processor determines, from the trajectory of the moving object, a reference frame in which the moving object is stationary and establishes the aircraft at a selected offset from the moving object for the trajectory of the moving object. The aircraft is flown along a flight path based on the selected offset using calculations performed with respect to the determined reference frame.
