In this paper, Aircraft Dynamics Model (ADM) augmentation for Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) navigation and guidance is presented. This approach provides additional information suitable to compensate for the shortcomings of vision based navigation sensors and Micro-Electromechanical System Inertial Measurement Unit (MEMS-IMU) sensors for attitude determination tasks. The ADM virtual sensor...
In order for Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) to coexist seamlessly with manned aircraft in non-segregated airspace, enhanced navigational capabilities are essential to meet the Required Navigational Performance (RNP) levels in all flight phases. A Multi-Sensor Data Fusion (MSDF) framework is adopted to improve the navigation capabilities of an integrated Navigation and Guidance System (NGS)...
In this paper we briefly review the research and flight test activities performed to develop and integrate the Laser Obstacle Avoidance and Monitoring (LOAM) system on helicopter platforms and focus on the recent research advances towards the development of a new scaled LOAM variant for small-to-medium size Unmanned Aircraft (UA) platforms. After a brief description of the system architecture and...
