Airbus Tests Technologies for Autonomous Air to Air Refuelling from MRTT Aircraft

Aerial refuelling is an increasingly vital capability for military force projection, and Airbus-developed technology to automate the in-flight “topping off” of aircraft will revolutionise this process – with wider applications for both the defence and civil aviation sectors. Disruptive technology for fully autonomous in-flight refuelling – designated Auto’Mate – is being evolved by the Airbus Defence and Space business unit in collaboration withAirbus UpNext, the company’s wholly-owned innovation subsidiary. Airbus UpNext also is pursuing such cross-division projects as pilot assistance technologies to further enhance flight safety and aircraft operational efficiency, along with new propulsion systems and aircraft design to face sustainability challenges. Last March, a successfulAuto’Mate demonstration using an Airbus testbed tanker aircraft and four unmanned drones marked a major milestone for the autonomous in-flight refuelling capability, which will be followed later this year by an even more ambitious flight campaign.

A330 MRTT: The world's first certified tanker for automatic air-to-air refueling operations

Launch of the "Auto'mate" demonstrator will pioneer more advanced autonomous features in the future.

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 07/19/2022 - 12:00 PM in Military

The Airbus A330 MRTT became the first tanker in the world to be certified for automatic air-to-air refueling (A3R) operations in broad daylight after a successful campaign in collaboration with the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF).

Certified by the Spanish National Institute of Aerospace Technology (INTA), this capacity is part of the new SMART MRTT developed by Airbus. The A3R system does not require additional equipment in the receiving aircraft and is intended to reduce the workload of the air refueling operator (ARO), improve safety and optimize the air-to-air refueling transfer rate (AAR) in operating conditions to allow air superiority.

"The certification of the A3R capacity is the result of a successful journey started in 2018 with the world's first automated contact with a boom system in a joint operation with the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). Since then, we have achieved more aeronautical "world first" thanks to the support of our customers, especially with the important participation of our RSAF partner, a launcher customer and the first operator to benefit from this revolutionary capacity. The A330 MRTT continues to increase its technological advantage with superior air refueling capabilities," said Jean-Brice Dumont, head of military air systems at Airbus Defence and Space.

Through the collaboration between Airbus and RSAF for the development of SMART MRTT, an A330 MRTT from RSAF participated in the development, flight testing campaign and certification of the A3R. In addition, improved maintenance features have been developed, allowing faster resolution of tasks on the ground, while providing the means to maximize the efficient use of spare parts.

The path to the evolution of the A330 MRTT does not stop here. Airbus, through its subsidiary Airbus UpNext, has launched Auto'Mate, a demonstrator that will develop, adapt, mature, integrate and evaluate technologies that allow Autonomous Asset Air Refueling (A4R) and Autonomous Training Flight (AF2) operations. Auto'Mate will focus on automating the tasks of the receiving aircraft, which requires a set of new technologies that are the pillars of the UpNext Auto'Mate demonstrator.

These technological bricks will be tested in flight during 2023 with a final end-to-end demonstration in mid-2024, using in both cases an A310 as a tank refueling test bench and DT-25 target drones as a receiving aircraft.

The set of technologies developed in the Airbus Auto'Mate demonstrator will allow a disruptive advance in the level of autonomy of current Air Refueling (AAR) operations, to reduce crew fatigue and training costs, improve safety and efficiency, and unmanned air-to-air refueling operations (including unmanned to unmanned AAR operations), a highly demand Auto ́Mate is the first UpNext demonstrator to be launched, developed and completed in Spain.

CERN and Airbus partnership on future clean aviation

CERN and Airbus partnership on future clean aviation Today, CERN and Airbus UpNext, a wholly owned subsidiary of Airbus, have launched an innovative collaboration to explore the potential use of superconducting technologies developed by CERN for particle accelerators in the electrical distribution systems of future hydrogen-powered aircraft. Superconducting technologies could drastically reduce the weight of next-generation aircraft and increase their efficiency. The partnership focuses on the development of a demonstrator known as SCALE (Super-Conductors for Aviation with Low Emissions), bringing together CERN’s expertise in superconducting technologies with Airbus UpNext’s capabilities in innovative aircraft design and manufacturing. If the expected performances and reliability objectives are achieved, the collaboration could reach the ambitious target of flying a fully integrated prototype within the next decade. “In its research, CERN pushes back the limits of science and engineering, and partners with industry to enable innovation, with a positive impact on the environment,” said Raphaël Bello, CERN’s Director of Finance and Human Resources. “Our technologies have the potential to be adapted to the needs of future clean transportation and mobility solutions, as this agreement with Airbus demonstrates. This partnership is only a first step in our journey with the European leader in aviation, and shows how much we value the excellence of our Member States’ industry.” “Our role at Airbus UpNext is to explore the full potential of technologies for future aircraft and to partner with the world’s leaders to prepare for this future. Partnering with a leading research institute like CERN, which has brought the world some of the most important findings in fundamental physics, will help to push the boundaries of research in clean aerospace as we work to make sustainable aviation a reality”, said Sandra Bour-Schaeffer, CEO of Airbus UpNext. “We are already developing a superconductivity demonstrator called ASCEND (Advanced Superconducting and Cryogenic Experimental powertraiN Demonstrator) to study the feasibility of this technology for electrically powered and hybrid aircraft. Combining knowledge obtained from our demonstrator and CERN’s unique capabilities in the field of superconductors makes for a natural partnership.” “Superconducting technologies have fuelled some of the greatest discoveries in high-energy physics and, if applied to aircraft power distribution systems, would drastically reduce their weight and increase their efficiency. CERN has over 40 years of expertise in building world-record superconducting systems that are at the core of existing and next-generation particle accelerators. Such systems present negligible resistance to the flow of current, thus transmitting much higher intensities than traditional, heavier, non-superconducting cables,” said José Miguel Jimenez, Head of the Technology department at CERN.
