A system of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) collaborating with an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) for use in for example surveillance, reconnaissance, transport and target acquisition is studied. The project investigates the problem of estimating the relative position, velocity and orientation between the UAV and the UGV required to autonomously land the UAV on the UGV during movement. The use of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers are not considered since they are sensitive to interference and spoofing attacks.  The developed estimation system consists of an extended Kalman filter (EKF) using measurements from several sensors, including: a camera, barometers, inertial measurement units (IMUs) and impulse-radio ultra-wide bandwidth (IRUWB) transceivers. Primarily the use of near infrared (NIR) light emitting diodes (LEDs) attached to the UGV and a camera on the UAV is investigated. Several configurations of LED placements, and what errors to expect when measuring them with the camera, are evaluated. The performance is evaluated in both simulations and hardware sensor tests, but no live experiments that include any autonomous landing manoeuvre are conducted.  The results indicate that high estimation precision can be achieved, at close range the errors in position average below 2 cm and in orientation under 0.5 degrees. However, some problems arise from the detection and identification of the LEDs. Further, if measurements of the LEDs are completely missing, the estimation precision suffers due to error accumulation in the inertial navigation. These results indicate that autonomous landing is possible, since the amount of LED measurements and consequently also the estimation precision increases as the relative position decreases.
