[0049] The specific operation process of this utility model is as follows:

[0050] When a helicopter is about to take off from a ship, a commander within the helicopter control facility 3, located on the ship's bridge deck, uses the helicopter tower and communications equipment integrated within the facility to notify the maintenance crew to use an electric towbarless tractor to transport the helicopter to the landing platform 2. A six-degree-of-freedom electro-hydraulic compensation structure 23 beneath the landing platform 2 compensates for the ship's motion, ensuring the helicopter remains stable within the landing area. The commander within the helicopter control facility 3 communicates wirelessly with the helicopter pilot, directing him to complete the takeoff.

[0051] As the helicopter prepares to land on the ship, the command personnel within helicopter control facility 3 provide the helicopter pilot with homing information via the integrated helicopter homing guidance equipment within control facility 3 and direct the maintenance personnel on the landing platform area to prepare for the helicopter's arrival. Under the control of the six-degree-of-freedom electro-hydraulic compensation structure 23, the landing platform area remains stable. Once the helicopter has landed, the maintenance personnel use an electric towbarless tractor to transport the helicopter to the landing platform area 1, secure it with the helicopter tie-down seat, and unload the personnel and supplies on board. The personnel and supplies are then transferred via the lifting platform 4 to the storage area on the ship's main deck 5 below the landing platform.
