Abstrakt: The solution of the problem of determining the coordinates of a radio beacon (including a mobile one) in real time using difference-range measurements taken by a constellation of miniature unmanned aerial vehicles (MUAVs) is considered. To form this solution, the following are sequentially obtained: equations describing the dynamics of changes in the navigation parameters of the MUAV constellation and observers of these parameters based on measurements of the global navigation satellite system, the equation of motion of the mobile radio beacon and the observer of its navigation parameters, and, at the final stage, algorithms for filtering the motion parameters of the MUAV according to satellite measurements and of the radio beacon according to the measurements taken on the MUAV. Numerical simulation of the obtained filtering algorithms shows the possibility of high-precision determination of the coordinates of a mobile radio beacon using the proposed approach.
