Navigation Systems for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

In this chapter, navigation systems for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are given. In this context, inertial navigation, air data system, surface radar, satellite radio navigation systems, Doppler and altimeter radars, magnetic sensors, vision-based systems, and simultaneous localization and mapping are described. Moreover, measurement faults for these systems, when they are used in UAVs, are investigated and details for the fault modeling are presented.
