Wind Profiling in the Lower Atmosphere from Wind-Induced Perturbations to Multirotor UAS

Wind Profiling in the Lower Atmosphere from Wind-Induced Perturbations to Multirotor UAS

We present a model-based approach to estimate the vertical profile of horizontal wind velocity components using motion perturbations of a multirotor unmanned aircraft system (UAS) in both hovering and steady ascending flight. The state estimation framework employed for wind estimation was adapted to...
