Item Cell Phone Navigation(2015-02) Layh, Trevor; Larson, Jordan; Jackson, John; Agamawi, Yunus; Taylor, Brian; Gebre-Egziabher, Demoz; Krause, Joel; Gustafson, JacobCell Phone Navigation project funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in Fall 2013 which tasked the UMN UAV Research Lab with proposing a backup navigation system within one year for SUAVs in GPS-denied environments. A cascaded Attitude Heading Reference System and Dead Reckoning system was designed which was capable of being aided by cell phone time-of-arrival information. This backup navigation system was integrated into a UltraStick 25e airframe equipped with the Goldy Flight Control System. Flight testing was conducted to characterize performance during short duration GPS outages. Longer duration GPS outages were simulated using Monte Carlo hardware-in-the-loop simulations. A full report on this work was created for DHS and is included in this project archive. Additionally, this research was presented and published for the Institute of Navigation International Technical Meeting, and those materials are also included in this project archive.Item MPC5200B Daughterboard Design(2014-07-24) Murch, AustinItem AMSYS Instructions(2014-07-24) Layh, TrevorItem UAV Laboratories Processes and Procedures(2014-07-23) Taylor, BrianItem Sensor Integration Software(2014-07-23) Murch, AustinItem Python Attitude Heading and Reference System(2014-07-23) Taylor, BrianItem Image Navigation UROP Research(2014-07-23) VandenAvond, SeanItem Goldy Flight Control System v1.0(2014-07-23) Johnson, WillItem UAV for Reliability Senior Design Project(2014-07-23) Bergquist, Erik; Reimann, Shawn; Amos, Jeremy; Cole, Jay; Phillips, Justin; Shuster, SimonItem Ultra Stick 120 Motor Mount(2014-07-23) Glasheen, KatherineItem Rate Table Characterization of Analog Devices ADIS 16405 and Vector Nav VN 100 Inertial Measurement Units(2014-07-23) Taylor, BrianItem ACC 2014, Structural Model Identification of a Small Flexible Aircraft Companion Software Package(2014-07-23) Moreno, ClaudiaItem ACC 2013, An Airborne Experimental Test Platform: From Theory to Flight Companion Software Package(2014-07-23) Dorobantu, Andrei
