Abstract

In the UAVs, the position error of the inertial navigation system is constantly increased when global positioning system goes wrong due to interference. It makes impossible to ensure mission and flight safety. If the data-link system provide the position of the UAV for inertial navigation system periodically, then the UAV may operate normally under malfunction of the global positioning system. In this paper, we introduce an algorithm for estimating the position of the UAV using the monopulse tracking and distance measurement of the line-of-sight data-link system. Also, we propose a method to improve the performance of position estimation. And we assured ourselves that this method can be applied in the UAVs.

무인기 시스템에서 전파방해로 인해 위성항법장치가 오동작하면 관성항법장치의 위치측정 오차는 지속적으로 증가한다. 이는 무인기의 안전한 비행과 임무를 불가능하게 한다. 만약 데이터링크시스템이 무인기의 위치정보를 주기적으로 알려줄 수 있다면 위성항법장치의 오동작 상황에서도 무인기를 정상적으로 운용할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 가시선 데이터링크의 모노펄스 추적기능과 거리측정 기능을 활용하여 무인기의 위치를 추정하는 알고리즘을 소개한다. 또한 위치추정 정확도를 개선하는 방안을 제안하고, 그 방안이 무인기 시스템에 활용 가능함을 확인하였다.
