Reference number : GC-2017-Q1-00506, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Forbes, James (McGill University)|Forbes, James (Université McGill), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Quebec|Québec, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for Universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : This NSERC Engage sponsored project focuses on advancing the current state-of-the-art in the field of_x000D_
unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) position and attitude estimation through research and development of new_x000D_
techniques to increase the reliability and fidelity of GPS/INS navigation methodologies. GPS/INS navigation_x000D_
involves the fusion of inertial navigation measurements, such as those from a rate gyro, and GPS measurements_x000D_
in order to generate a UAV position and attitude estimate. This position and attitude estimate is critical for_x000D_
control of the UAV. The purpose of this NSERC Engage is to develop a tightly -coupled GPS/INS navigation_x000D_
system, a sliding window filter, and a real-time kinematic estimation method to better estimate the position and_x000D_
attitude of a UAV. In conjunction with ARA Robotique, the proposed algorithms will be implemented and_x000D_
experimentally tested on ARA Robotique UAVs., program purpose french : This NSERC Engage sponsored project focuses on advancing the current state-of-the-art in the field of_x000D_
