Timing and Navigation in UAVs : Synchronization of UAV Swarms and Testing GPS Error Effects on GNSS Reception

Abstract: Precise timing and precise location information are provided by Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and play a crucial role in the positioning, navigation and data acquisition of most Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). GNSS functions include the following applications in UAVs: time-stamping and geo-referencing of collected data and images, synchronization of swarm flying and follow-me flights, determination of position and attitude in-flight, flight trajectory by following a pre-defined number of waypoints, mission planning, return home automatically without external control, avoidance of obstacles and geo-fencing.  Some of these critical operations have implications for the safety of the UAV, the surrounding environment and health and safety of people, for example UAVs threatening to bring down aircrafts  at airports, which are no-fly zones for UAVs. The appropriate GNSS based function to avoid this is geo-fencing. Another example is obstacle avoidance to prevent collisions an.... https://www.bibliothek.tu-chemnitz.de/ojs/index.php/cs/article/view/265
