Prof. Gao from the University of IL has developed an algorithm to incorporate measurements from multiple low-cost, light weight GPS receivers on one UAV to improve accuracy and reliability.
They have implemented an Extended Kalman Filter for the purpose of integrating the pseudorange measurements from multiple receivers.
The measurement matrix in the EKF can be further extended to include the carrier phase measurements from the receivers – attitude.

Dr. Wissa from the University of IL has developed a bio-mimetic structure which can suppress turbulence and control air flow. Compared to current technologies, it is a much smaller device. It sits near the leading edge of an aircraft wing, suppressing turbulence, offering better maneuverability and flight control.
