A learning autopilot for a vehicle provides the capability to command complex maneuvers or maneuver the vehicle when control by its ground station is not possible. A memory is used during a piloted rehearsal mission and position and time information for the aircraft is stored in the memory. This memory is incorporated into the vehicle control system, and during automatic operation of the aircraft, the recorded position and relative time information is retrieved and compared against position and relative time information occurring during automatic flight. The difference between the recorded information and the actual flight information is used to generate error signals which are converted to command signals for the vehicle. Maneuvers which were initiated and completed by the pilot during the rehearsal mission are then repeated during the automatic flight from the flight information stored in the memory.

Un pilote automatique autodidactique destiné à un véhicule présente la capacité de commander des manoeuvres complexes ou de manoeuvrer le véhicule lorsque la commande par sa station terrestre n'est pas possible. Une mémoire est utilisée pendant une mission de répétition pilotée, ladite mémoire contenant des informations de position et de temps pour l'avion. Cette mémoire est incorporée dans le système de commmande du véhicule, et pendant le fonctionnement automatique de l'avion les informations enregistrées de position et de temps relatif sont extraites et comparées à des informations de position et de temps relatif pertinentes pendant un vol automatique. La différence entre les informations enregistrées et les informations de vol réel est utilisée pour produire des signaux d'erreurs, lesquels sont convertis en signaux de commande pour le véhicule. Des manoeuvres entamées et achevées par le pilote pendant la mission de répétition sont ensuite répétées pendant le vol automatique à partir des informations de vol mémorisées en mémoire.
