Pseudosatellite Dynamic Positioning of UAV Pod Based on an Improved SR-UKF Algorithm

الملخص EN

In view of the practical engineering problem of dynamic positioning of rotor UAV pod and the strong nonlinear problem in dynamic operation of UAV, a real-time estimation of the dynamic position of the rotor UAV pod is proposed by using the SR-UKF algorithm.

This algorithm uses the nonlinear propagation of UT transform to generate the point set to maintain the mean and covariance information and thus achieves higher precision.

Moreover, it uses the square root of covariance instead of covariance to participate in the recursive operation, thus improving the numerical stability of the filter and reducing the amount of computation.

In this work, a pseudosatellite positioning platform was constructed in a field site in Nanjing.

Based on evaluation of the space geometry of pseudosatellite base station, the accuracy of several nonlinear filtering algorithms was analyzed and evaluated using GPS RTK positioning results.

It was found that the SR-UKF algorithm was the most accurate and efficient algorithm.

It can meet the requirements of dynamic positioning of the rotor-wing UAV pod.

The experiment results of this algorithm provide a more efficient positioning algorithm and implementation means for the actual engineering of UAV pod positioning using pseudosatellite system, which has high application value.
