Understanding the Dual-Navigation System of Drones

Related Topics: Global Positioning System

Drones have become increasingly popular in recent years, with their applications ranging from aerial photography to search and rescue missions. One of the key features that make drones so versatile is their dual-navigation system. But what exactly is a dual-navigation system, and how does it work?

A dual-navigation system is a combination of two different navigation technologies: GPS and inertial navigation. GPS, or Global Positioning System, is a satellite-based navigation system that provides precise location and time information. Inertial navigation, on the other hand, uses sensors to measure the drone’s acceleration and rotation to calculate its position and velocity.
