Abstract
A system having components coupled to an aircraft and components remote from the aircraft processes sensor-derived data, transmits information between aircraft system components and remote system components, and dynamically generates updated analyses of position and orientation of the aircraft relative to a desired landing site, while the aircraft is in flight toward the desired landing site. Based on the position and orientation information, the system generates instructions for flight control of the aircraft toward a flight path to the landing site, and can update flight control instructions as new data is received and processed.
