TL;DR: A low cost navigation system based on Vision Based Navigation and other avionics sensors is presented, which is designed for small size Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) applications and shows that the integrated system can reach position, velocity and attitude accuracies compatible with CAT-II precision approach requirements.

TL;DR: Modelling and simulation activities focussed on the AEROSONDE UAV platform and considered the possible augmentation provided by interferometric GNSS techniques to a low-cost and low-weight/volume integrated navigation system recently developed at Cranfield University.

TL;DR: A compact, light and relatively inexpensive system capable of providing the required navigation performance in all phases of flight of small UA, with a special focus on precision approach and landing, where Vision Based Navigation techniques can be fully exploited in a multisensor integrated architecture.

TL;DR: A compact, light and relatively inexpensive system capable of providing the Required Navigation Performance (RNP) in all phases of flight of a small UAV, with a special focus on precision approach and landing, where Vision Based Navigation (VBN) techniques can be fully exploited in a multisensor integrated architecture.

TL;DR: In this paper, a carrier-phase Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) for attitude determination and control of small to medium size UAVs is presented, where recursive optimal estimation algorithms are developed for combining multiple attitude measurements obtained from different observation points (i.e., antenna locations).
