Cooperative Navigation of Fixed-Wing Micro Air Vehicles in GPS-Denied Environments

Cooperative Navigation of Fixed-Wing Micro Air Vehicles in GPS-Denied Environments

Micro air vehicles have recently gained popularity due to their potential as autonomous systems. Their future impact, however, will depend in part on how well they can navigate in GPS-denied and GPS-degraded environments. In response to this need, this dissertation investigates a potential solution...
