基于构型优选的5G集群无人机协同导航方法

针对现有基于测距的集群UAV协同导航方法普遍忽略了空间构型对定位定能的影响,难以获得精确的导航定位结果,提出一种基于空间构型优选的5G集群UAV协同导航方法。构建了复杂环境下基于5G信号的UAV相对测距误差模型,基于最小几何精度因子(geometric dilution of precision,GDOP)准则建立了协同导航节点寻优策略,实现了协同导航空间构型的实时优选;设计了基于5G测距网络的协同导航滤波器,对UAV导航信息进行在线估计和实时补偿,提高集群UAV的协同定位精度。仿真结果表明:该方法从机定位精度平均提升了约42.05%,为集群UAV实现在卫星不可用条件下的自主导航提供了一种有效的新方法。

Engineering vibration monitoring by GPS:long duration records

Monitoring the performance of any structure requires real-time measurements of the change of position of critical points. Different techniques can be used for this purpose, each one offering advantages and disadvantages. The technique based on satellite positioning systems （GPS, GLONASS and the future GALILEO） seems to be very promising at least for long period structures. The GPS in particular provides sampling rates that are able to track dynamic displacements with high accuracy. Its service ability is independent of atmospheric conditions, temperature variations and visibility of the monitored object. This paper investigates the reliability and accuracy of the measurements of dual frequency GPS receivers. A linear electromagnetic motor moves an object along a given direction. The changes of position are compared witb their estimates as recorded by a GPS receiver, whose antenna is located on the reference object. The comparison is based on sufficiently long records.

A Test Method for the Static/Moving State of Targets Applied to Airport Surface Surveillance MLAT System

Due to the particularity of its location algorithm,there are some unique difficulties and features regarding the test of target motion states of multilateration(MLAT)system for airport surface surveillance.This paper proposed a test method applicable for the airport surface surveillance MLAT system,which can effectively determine whether the target is static or moving at a certain speed.Via a normalized test statistic designed in the sliding data window,the proposed method not only eliminates the impact of geometry Dilution of precision(GDOP)effectively,but also transforms the test of different motion states into the test of different probability density functions.Meanwhile,by adjusting the size of the sliding window,it can fulfill different test performance requirements.The method was developed through strict theoretical extrapolation and performance analysis,and simulations results verified its correctness and effectiveness.

Constrained geometry analysis to resolve 3-D deformations from three ground-based radars

When multiple ground-based radars(GB-rads)are utilized together to resolve three-dimensional(3-D)deformations,the resolving accuracy is related with the measurement geometry constructed by these radars.This paper focuses on constrained geometry analysis to resolve 3-D deformations from three GB-rads.The geometric dilution of precision(GDOP)is utilized to evaluate 3-D deformation accuracy of a single target,and its theoretical equation is derived by building a simplified 3-D coordinate system.Then for a 3-D scene,its optimal accuracy problem is converted into determining the minimum value of an objective function with a boundary constraint.The genetic algorithm is utilized to solve this constrained optimization problem.Numerical simulations are made to validate the correctness of the theoretical analysis results.
