Abstract:
A refueling drogue assembly includes a drogue body coupled to a tanker aircraft, and at least one data transmission device coupled to the drogue body. The at least one data transmission device is configured to receive a transmission signal from a partner transmission device coupled to an airborne target aircraft. The transmission signal includes data to be stored. The drogue assembly further includes a data storage device coupled to the tanker aircraft. The data storage device is communicatively coupled to the at least one data transmission device. The data storage device is configured to receive the transmission signal and store the data.
