Desarrollo y pruebas de vuelo de UAS en entornos sin GPS

Abstract

The scope of this project is aimed on studying how UAS can navigate in GPS denied environments. In the first chapter, a research and study of the different existing systems will be performed in order to get in touch with the technology used for this navigation technique. Once the research is done and we have studied some of the different options available, one of the solutions will be chosen and will be implemented in our drone in order to perform different flight tests. Second chapter will show how to recreate the drone used in the flight tests from 0, starting with all the independent components and ending up in the final drone with all the configurations and connections done, ready to use in the field test. Once the drone is ready to flight, third chapter will propose several flight tests to be done, according to the different scenarios that we expect to give us the maximum changes in the behaviour of the drone. Next step after all the flights are done will consist in analysing which are the more important factors that have affected to our flights. After seeing the results, we will be able to conclude if the technology used for positioning in GPS denied environments is effective and helpful to our drone, or on the other hand, not as useful as expected and not worth to be used.
