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.}, doi = {10.12716/1001.19.04.01}, issn = {2083-6473}, publisher = {Gdynia Maritime University, Faculty of Navigation}, keywords = {} }
