Abstract
This paper presents fusion of inertial navigation system (INS) and global positioning system (GPS) for estimating position, velocities, attitude and heading of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). A 15 state extended Kalman filter (EKF) and a split architecture consisting of 6 state non-linear complementary filter (NCF) and 9 state EKF are investigated in detail. In both these fusion architectures GPS and IMU consisting of 3 axis accelerometers, 3 axis rate gyros and 3 axis magnetometer have been fused in open loop fashion (loosely coupled) to estimate the navigation states. These architectures have been implemented in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment and evaluated in closed loop guidance of MAV with Software-In-Loop-Simulation (SILS) setup. Furthermore, the 15-state EKF algorithm is validated with flight test data obtained from onboard data logger using an off-the shelf autopilot board (Ardupilot Mega APM-2.5) for UAV.
