Automated Design of Autonomous Vector Measuring Instruments

Abstract

The process of designing autonomous vector measuring instrument is considered. The characteristic of autonomous vector measuring instruments applied in unmanned aviation is given. The concept of the smart measuring instrument concerning to the researched device is explained. The structure of information support for designing redundant nonorthogonal measuring instrument is given. The block-scheme of the process of designing redundant nonorthogonal configurations is represented. The process of choice of the optimal configuration of autonomous vector measuring instruments based on redundant nonorthogonal measuring bases is represented. The computer-aided designed procedures for optimal configuration choice are described. The basic algorithms necessary for functioning of the smart vector measuring instruments are listed. The example of the analysis of nonorthogonal configurations is represented. The obtained results are applicable in measuring systems of unmanned aviation. They also can be useful for other aerospace applications.
