Aeroscout provides in-depth knowledge in the field of integrated navigation systems, including INS/GPS navigation, analysis of raw sensor data, navigation error modeling, error propagation, extended Kalman filtering, and implementation of data fusion algorithms. Aeroscout performs recording and analysis of various real flight data from multiple platforms such as inertial measurement units (IMU), (D)GPS, magnetometer modules, and other onboard and ground-based sensors.

Our primarily goal is to develop, test, validate, and optimize customized navigation algorithms for specific applications. Based on our testing environments and our laboratory (sensor) tools, Aeroscout can provide deep insights into data consistency and general sensor/product quality. Our knowledge has been applied to unmanned ground and airborne systems as well as to manned vehicles and aircraft. Some standard key-words for our knowledge can be listed in the following way:

  • INS/GPS integrated navigation
  • Inertial navigation
  • Augmented navigation algorithms
  • Coning and sculling compensation algorithms
  • Analogue versus digital integration algorithms
  • Quaternions, Euler angles, and direction cosine matrix
  • Transformation matrices from body-fixed to earth-fixed coordinate frame
  • NED, ECEF, NWU, FSD coordinate systems

In general, Aeroscout provides complete reports including test results, algorithm developments, and algorithm implementations. This normally includes further Matlab simulation and C-Code.
