Physical Foundation of Hybrid Navigation System For Tethered High-Altitude Unmanned Platforms

In this paper the analysis of possible navigation systems for a tethered high-altitude unmanned platform is carried out. Here it is considered acoustic, optical, radiofrequency systems. As a result of the presented analysis it is made the conclusion about the need to use a hybrid navigation system that includes a machine vision subsystem and a radio frequency subsystem for. The necessary calculations for the proposed hybrid system are carried out too. Additionally the simulation modeling is used for the computer vision system.
