Abstract
Part-time studies of the MSc program as source of number of technical and scientificinnovations in Automation and Computer Based Systems Engineering at Faculty of ElectricalEngineering of SS Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, are run for more than 15 years.This innovation in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV’s) is the most recent one. The system that provides us the navigational parameters is called Navigation System. The most used Navigation Systems, developed for a wide range of vehicles, are Inertial Navigation System (INS) and Global Positioning System (GPS). These two systems have their advantages and disadvantages, which makes them complementary. The best estimates of the aircraft position, velocity and attitude can be obtained by GPS/INS integration employing Kalman filter implementation Copyright © 2005 IFAC.
