Using stars to navigate drones

A surge in GPS jamming attacks in drone warfare has inspired Australian researchers to develop a celestial navigation system that uses visual data from stars rather than relying on the global positioning system.

Remote sensing engineers from the University of South Australia have combined celestial navigation with vision-based technology to provide an alternative means of nighttime navigation in environments where GPS is unavailable or unreliable.

Their research is described in a new paper published in Drones. In this video, Dr Sam Teague outlines how the new system offers a dependable backup to GPS with impressive accuracy.
