An Assessment for UAS Depart and Approach Operations
Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) have great potential to be used in a wide variety of civil applications such as environmental applications, emergency situations, surveillance tasks and more. The development of Flight Control Systems (FCS) coupled with the availability of other Commercial Off-The Shelf (COTS) components is enabling the introduction of UAS into the civil market. The sophistication ...
متن کاملPrecision and Reliability Incensement of Inertial Navigation System with Rotation and Redundancy
Precision and reliability are two main performance characteristic in low-cost Inertial Navigation System(INS). Increase of precision in low-cost INS without auxiliary sensors is main challenge. Bias instability leads to position drift error in inertial navigation system. In addition, fault occurrence makes the sensor reliability is decreased. Rotation of Inertial Measurement Unit(RIMU) and use ...
متن کاملUnmanned Aircraft Systems in Remote Sensing and Scientific Research: Classification and Considerations of Use
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) have evolved rapidly over the past decade driven primarily by military uses, and have begun finding application among civilian users for earth sensing reconnaissance and scientific data collection purposes. Among UAS, promising characteristics are long flight duration, improved mission safety, flight repeatability due to improving autopilots, and reduced operatio...
متن کاملDepart and approach procedures for UAS in a VFR environment
This paper assesses the depart and approach operations of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in one of the most challenging scenarios: when flying under Visual Flight Rules (VFR). Inspired by some existing procedures for (manned) general aviation, some automatic and predefined procedures for UAS are proposed. Hence, standardized paths to specific waypoints close to the airport are defined for depa...
متن کاملOTDOA/GPS Fusion for Urban UAS Navigation using Particle Filtering Techniques
As Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) become more accepted into our society, law enforcement, emergency services, and commercial entities will begin taking advantage of this technology in high-population urban settings. Since these aircraft will be operating between and above the high-rise buildings that de ne most urban cores, increased position estimation accuracy will become paramount to ensure...
