Dead Reckoning Method for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle in Conditions of Limited GPS Signal
1 Military University of Technology, Warsaw, Poland
ABSTRACT: The article presents a dead reckoning navigation method dedicated to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), enabling position determination under limited GNSS signal access. The method is based on the analysis of data from inertial measurement units (IMUs) and mathematical algorithms, allowing for precise monitoring of UAV trajectories. The study outlines the theoretical foundations of dead reckoning navigation, the derivation of key formulas, and the results of simulation tests of the method based on real inertial sensor data logs. The tests demonstrated promising effectiveness, highlighting its potential in military and civilian applications. The method can serve as a complement to traditional navigation systems.
