A Study of Onboard Sensors for Intra-Formation Drone Separation Measurements.
Abstract
Various approaches for onboard measurement of scalar and vector separation between RPV's flying in formations are briefly reviewed, and a technique for vector measurement based on Induced Directional FM (IDFM) is recommended. A performance analysis is then presented which shows that the recommended onboard sensor system is capable of meeting 1 meter rms error bound over separations from 30 m to 1 km and angular accuracies bounded by .00016.
