DIPSY, a low-cost GPS application with high accuracy
conference paper
To improve the control of unmanned aircraft flying out of visual range, the controller needs to be provided with realtime information about the position and behaviour of the drone during the flight. The position of the drone has to be presented with a relative high accuracy to obtain accurate flight patterns and to keep the drone within the limited space of operations. Standard GPS C/A code with Selective Availability will not provide the required accuracy in this applicarion. A low-cost solution to get a high relative position accuracy of the drone has been developed. The principle of operation and some measured results will be described
