Description

Nowadays, one of the major limits of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) is the set of low cost navigator sensors installed on them. They are vulnerable to vibration, high acceleration, high rotation and jerk. Furthermore, magnetometers drift significantly when located close to engines, to electromechanical devices or in areas with strong magnetic fields (for example grid power lines). This document describes an innovative approach using multi GNSS receivers for UAV's attitude determination.
