Autopilot model for returning an unmanned aerial vehicle to its starting point in case of electromagnetic noise

Abstract

The possibility of returning an unmanned aerial vehicle in case of electromagnetic interference, which blocks the use of the global positioning system and radio control system, is considered. It has been shown that in the situation of gathering information about the area over which the route of unmanned aerial vehicle runs, using passive sensors and cameras, it is possible to position the machine to return to the starting point. An analysis of models, which allowed creating a simulation of flight process and positioning, was made.
