Innovative navigation strategies based on multiple signals for performance improvement of drone-based operations

Abstract. The growing employment of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs, commonly referred to as drones) in civilian and military environments, along with the increasing accuracy avionics components, has led definition more stringent drone-based mission requirements. In this sense, following work summarizes a series Ph.D. research activities aimed at improving UAS performance under different aspects, order enhance their use variety application contexts environmental conditions while ensuring satisfactory level accuracy.
