Recent advances in magnetic field calibration and attitude estimation techniques have fundamentally enhanced the accuracy and robustness of navigation, robotics and aerospace applications. These ...

The aerospace industry is characterized by extremely demanding levels of Quality Assurance (QA), and this philosophy is applied at all levels for product manufacturers. In the case of UAV Navigation, ...

MAGNETIC COMPASSES have guided sailors for centuries, but a compass tells you only in which direction you are pointing, not whereabouts you are. A new form of magnetic navigation being developed by ...

This report shows the results of a test survey aimed at collecting reference data using four different UAV-based (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) magnetometers against UXO (Unexploded Ordnance) surrogate ...

They’ve flown on high-profile interplanetary and more modest low-Earth-orbiting missions, but in all cases the ubiquitous fluxgate magnetometers that scientists use to measure the intensity of a ...
