Abstract: Automatic homing systems are disclosed, operable between pairs of objects. One or both of the objects in the pair may be moving and/or unmanned. Examples of a pair of objects between which the inventive automatic homing systems may be operated are ground vehicles in leader-follower configuration, as well as aircraft, spacecraft, watercraft. The automatic homing systems are based on a relatively simple, elegant concept of rightness/leftness and a line-of-sight link between a respective leader vehicle and follower vehicle. Complex EO/IR cameras, LIDAR, RADAR, and/or SONAR-based sensor systems can be avoided. Convoys of vehicles in leader-follower configuration advantageously may be operated without needing human operators in the follower vehicles.
