abstract

  • A high-precision relative navigation system with applications in the aerospace industry is proposed and validated for the accurate autonomous landing of drones. It relays on the generation of an optical grid from two dual optical comb generators that projects that grid into space where an object, such as an unmanned aerial vehicle, detects its relative position relatesed system for the high-precision relative positioning of a drone are also presented.
