“…The U-Space concept has been introduced to cater to the rapid development of UAV services and to adapt the existing procedures to the advanced capabilities of modern drones. In this respect, U-Space creates new administrative and legal options for implementing automatic and autonomous aircraft [ 21 , 29 , 30 ]. In regard to automatic flights, various procedures are developed and uploaded to a drone’s onboard computer to facilitate UAV operation.…”

The growing possibilities offered by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in many areas of life, in particular in automatic data acquisition, spur the search for new methods to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the acquired information. This study was undertaken on the assumption that modern navigation receivers equipped with real-time kinematic positioning software and integrated with UAVs can considerably improve the accuracy of photogrammetric measurements. The research hypothesis was verified during field measurements with the use of a popular Enterprise series drone. The problems associated with accurate UAV pose estimation were identified. The main aim of the study was to perform a qualitative assessment of the pose estimation accuracy of a UAV equipped with a GNSS RTK receiver. A test procedure comprising three field experiments was designed to achieve the above research goal: an analysis of the stability of absolute pose estimation when the UAV is hovering over a point, and analyses of UAV pose estimation during flight along a predefined trajectory and during continuous flight without waypoints. The tests were conducted in a designated research area. The results were verified based on direct tachometric measurements. The qualitative assessment was performed with the use of statistical methods. The study demonstrated that in a state of apparent stability, horizontal deviations of around 0.02 m occurred at low altitudes and increased with a rise in altitude. Mission type significantly influences pose estimation accuracy over waypoints. The results were used to verify the accuracy of the UAV’s pose estimation and to identify factors that affect the pose estimation accuracy of an UAV equipped with a GNSS RTK receiver. The present findings provide valuable input for developing a new method to improve the accuracy of measurements performed with the use of UAVs.

The development of hierarchical structures of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) increases the efficiency of unmanned aerial systems. The grouping of UAVs increases the region of recognition or force of assault. Achieving these requirements is possible through a UAV formation. The UAVs in the formation must be controlled and managed by a commander, but the commander cannot control individual UAVs. The UAVs within the formation have assigned specific individual tasks, so is possible to achieve the flight of the formation with minimum collisions between UAVs and maximized equipment utilization. This paper aims to present a method of formation control for multiple UAVs that allows dynamic changes in the constellations of UAVs. The article includes the results of tests and research conducted in real-world conditions involving a formation capable of adapting its configuration. The results are presented as an element of research for the autonomy swarm, which can be controlled by one pilot/operator. The control of a swarm consisting of many UAVs (several hundred) by one person is now a current problem. The article presents a fragment of research work on high-autonomy UAV swarms. Here is presented a field test that focuses on UAV constellation control.
