Abstract: A docking station for an aircraft includes a base portion and an alignment system disposed on the base portion configured to orient the aircraft relative to the base portion. The alignment system can include a plurality of protrusions extending away from the base portion in a vertical direction. The plurality of protrusions can extend away from the base portion in both the vertical direction and a horizontal direction such that the protrusions can extend from the base portion at an angle.

Abstract: Methods and system are disclosed for guiding an autonomous drone aircraft during descent to a landing target. The method features the steps of: (a) acquiring an image using a camera on the drone aircraft of an active fiducial system at the landing target; (b) verifying the active fiducial system in the image by comparing the image to a stored model or representation of the active fiducial system; (c) determining a relative position and/or orientation of the drone aircraft to the landing target using data from the image; (d) using the relative position and/or orientation determined in step (c) to guide the drone aircraft toward the landing target; and (e) repeating steps (a) through (d) a plurality of times.
