Description
Summary:The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) had been used commonly nowadays. As such, locating the position of the UAV have become an important part. Global Positioning System (GPS) is needed to ensure the location of the UAV. A more precise locating system Real Time Kinematic (RTK) which uses Global Navigation System (GNSS) will be a better choice. It has an accuracy of nearly 1-2 cm. As such, this project will focus on to achieved this accuracy. This project will consist of two parts namely the RTK Base Station and the Rover with is the UAV. The Base Station will be the main station that will correct the Positioning of the Rover.
