1. An on-board based instrumentation system for position-adaptive convergence of an unmanned-air-vehicle helicopter between two structures comprising:

  • an unmanned-air-vehicle helicopter;

    a positional control system;

    a close-range monostatic radar system for transmitting, receiving and processing in real-time a radar signal;

    a system controls processor for interfacing said radar system with said positional control system and wherein said controls processor iteratively controls the location of the helicopter in real-time;

    and wherein large range values from said close-range monostatic radar system correspond to leakage points and wherein said leakage points correspond to lower values of signal attenuation and higher values of medium penetration, said unmanned-air-vehicle helicopter converging and hovering at said leakage points.
