Abstract
This paper describes some design considerations of a navigation filter for an unmanned aircraft. Emphasis is on a simple, but accurate approach to navigation. Design considerations are discussed for the implementation of a fixed gain extended Kalman filter. Representative sensors including true airspeed, doppler, and LORAN are described, and their integration into a modular navigation system is explained.
