5G Enhanced Navigation Integrity for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) Systems: Final presentation of project EL2-105 “5G Drone Positioning”

Applications for UAVs, such as drones, are predicted to have significant long term economic and societal benefits. However, the safe and effective operation of UAVs depends upon a PNT (Position, Navigation and Timing) service with assured availability, continuity, integrity and accuracy. This is a challenge in urban airspace environments such as cities and towns, which suffer from…
