Flight Test Results of GPS/INS Navigation Loop for an Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)

Jong-Hyuk Kim and Salah Sukkarieh

Abstract:	This paper presents the real-time flight test results of a GPS/INS navigation system for an Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The GPS/INS system was developed as a part of the Autonomous Navigation and Sensing Environment Research (ANSER) program between the University of Sydney and BAE Systems [1]. The system was designed as loosely coupled integration architecture. The system was installed and tested on the UAV, Brumby-MK3 developed by the University of Sydney. The flight test results showed that the GPS/INS navigation system worked properly in real-time operation and could provide accurate navigation solutions under high dynamic and high maneuvering environments.
