Abstract

An automatic take-off and landing control device (100) for an aircraft (400) is provided. The control device (100) comprises at least two of at least one local tracking device (102) adapted for receiving at least one local signal from at least one local ground station (300) and for determining a position of the aircraft (400) based on the local signals, at least one GNSS tracking device (104) adapted for receiving a GNSS signal and for determining a position of the aircraft (400) based on the GNSS signal; and at least one camera device (108) adapted for observing an environment of the aircraft (400) and for determining a position of the aircraft (400) based on the camera signal. The control device further comprises at least one monitoring device (110) adapted for continuously supervising a performance and/or a health status of at least two of the at least one local tracking device (102), the at least one GNSS tracking device (104), and the at least one camera device (108) based on analyzing signals received from at least two of the at least one local tracking device (102), the at least one GNSS tracking device (104), and the at least one camera device (108). The described automatic take-off and landing control device may allow fully automatic take-off and landing operations/ procedures of aircrafts, particularly of UAVs and/or RPAs, under instrument meteorological conditions.
