2024: Drone Navigation System Development
Scientists at NRU MPEI have developed a radio navigation system for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The university announced this on March 6, 2024.
The system is a software and hardware complex (PAC) consisting of radio transmitters located along the perimeter of the working area and radio tags located on unmanned aerial vehicles. The radio tag contains a data transmission interface, when connected to which the on-board computer receives access to its own coordinates in real time.
The developed PAC finds its application both for UAVs and for navigation of autonomous robots in production workshops, automated warehouses and other spaces where there are no signals from satellite radio navigation systems (GLONASS, GPS), and serves as a source of accurate coordinates for the implementation of autopilot systems. In open spaces, PAC can be used as an alternative to GLONASS in conditions of insufficient accuracy in determining coordinates.
 | This complex of our scientists was interested in companies engaged in the development of algorithms for cooperative navigation of drones (control of a swarm of UAVs). In these developments, PAC can act as an alternative to GLONASS and GPS when testing in a hangar before field tests at the training ground, "said Nikolai Rogalev, rector of MPEI . |  |
PAC provides determination of coordinates of objects in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional space with decimeter accuracy, which is achieved due to the use of ultra-wideband radio signals, which provide high accuracy of estimation of propagation delay in conditions of reflections. The system, which includes four reference points, allows you to cover the working area with an area of 1 thousand square meters with a radio navigation field. m
The navigation system was developed by employees of the Department of Radio Engineering Systems of NRU "MPEI" under the guidance of a department employee, Ph.D. Alexander Chugunova.
