The autopilot with the accompanying electrical systemwas implemented in a prebuilt, commercially sourced, airframe. READ MORE

  3. 7. Localization of Combat Aircraft at High Altitude using Visual Odometry

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Jenny Nilsson Boij; [2022]
    Keywords : Monocular Visual Odometry; Monocular SLAM; High Altitude; Combat Aircraft; X-Plane;

    Abstract : Most of the navigation systems used in today’s aircraft rely on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). However, GNSS is not fully reliable. For example, it can be jammed by attacks on the space or ground segments of the system or denied at inaccessible areas. READ MORE
