      This paper presents an ultra-wideband (UWB) radio aided inertial navigation system (INS), estimating position, velocity and attitude (PVA), based on a low-cost microelectro-mechanical system (MEMS) Inertial Measurement ...

    • Autonomous ballistic airdrop of objects from a small fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle 

      Mathisen, Siri Gulaker; Leira, Frederik Stendahl; Helgesen, Håkon Hagen; Gryte, Kristoffer; Johansen, Tor Arne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Autonomous airdrop is a useful basic operation for a fixed-wing unmanned aerial system. Being able to deliver an object to a known target position extends operational range without risking human lives, but is still limited ...

    • Autonomous Landing of Fixed-Wing UAV in Net suspended by Multirotor UAVs - A Fixed-Wing Landing System 

      Nevstad, Sigurd Olav (Master thesis, 2016)
      This thesis presents an autonomous landing system designed for an fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to land in a net suspended by multirotor UAVs. Ordinary landing of an fixed-wing UAV usually involves landing on a ...

    • Estimation of UAV Position, Velocity and Attitude Using Tightly Coupled Integration of IMU and a Dual GNSS Receiver Setup 

      Sollie, Martin Lysvand (Master thesis, 2018)
      Increasing use of UAVs in high-precision applications, such as georeferencing and photogrammetry, increases the requirements on the accuracy of the estimated position, velocity and attitude of the vehicle. Commercial systems ...

    • Field Test Results of GNSS-denied Inertial Navigation aided by Phased-array Radio Systems for UAVs 

      Gryte, Kristoffer; Bryne, Torleiv Håland; Albrektsen, Sigurd Mørkved; Johansen, Tor Arne (Chapter, 2019)
      Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) often depend on global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) and magnetic compasses for navigation, making them exposed to malicious attacks and sensitive to magnetic anomalies, while restricting ...

    • High Angle of Attack Landing of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle 

      Gryte, Kristoffer (Master thesis, 2015)
      Motivated by the limited landing space on board a ship, this thesis investigates the landing of the Skywalker X8 fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in a net. Further motivated by the way birds abruptly, and equally ...

    • Impact of Atmospheric Icing on UAV Aerodynamic Performance 

      Hann, Richard; Wenz, Andreas Wolfgang; Gryte, Kristoffer; Johansen, Tor Arne (Chapter; Conference object, 2017)
      This paper presents a first assessment on the impact of atmospheric icing on the aerodynamic performance of fixed-wing UAVs. Numerical simulations were performed in order to evaluate the impact on lift and drag on a 2D ...

    • LPV model reference control for fixed-wing UAVs 

      Rotondo, Damiano; Cristofaro, Andrea; Gryte, Kristoffer; Johansen, Tor Arne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      This paper proposes a linear parameter varying (LPV) model reference-based control for fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which achieves agile and high performance tracking objectives in extended flight envelopes, ...

    • Precision control of fixed-wing UAV and robust navigation in GNSSdenied environments 

      Gryte, Kristoffer (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:198, Doctoral thesis, 2020)
      Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been adopted to a wide range of applications, but fully autonomous flight is still utopian, especially for safety-critical applications. This thesis seeks to close this gap by mainly ...
