- Synopsis:
-
The course acquaints students with the current technology used in aircraft instruments and unmanned aerial vehicles, ie systems and sensors working in the low frequency range and methods used to process their data. The course includes a detailed description of aircraft instrumentation and its resistance to external influences, a description of aircraft power sources, analysis of instruments and systems for measuring engine and aerometric quantities, and a description of emergency and operational diagnostics. The course also deals with the field of inertial navigation aids, used sensors and systems, their modeling and description. It analyzes in detail the principles of calculations of navigation equations, including methods of fusion of navigation data and their processing.
