Book excerpt: This report presents the results of Project MEDIUM RARE, a limited evaluation of sensor requirements for UAV autonomous air refueling rendezvous. The overall test objective was to determine sensor field-of-regard and detection range requirements for an array of tanker aspect angles that would allow successful autonomous, UAV rendezvous. The Air Force Research Laboratory requested this testing. The USAF Test Pilot School, Class 03A, conducted 8 flight test sorties totaling 12.5 hours at Edwards AFB, California, from 7 Oct to 28 Oct 03. All test objectives were met.
