If it can land on a carrier, in a storm, at night...have they worked out a plan for mid-air refueling?

There are a lot of things a human can do that a robot can't. Landing a plane is NOT one of them.

I don’t know about today, but in the late 80’s early 90’s, aircraft got aboard pretty well by themselves with coupled approaches using the SPN 46. The system was called ACLS.
