Abstract
Radio-based direction finding or radio-based localization is a new and growing field of study
for an Unmanned Aerial System. While this concept had been used in manned aircrafts previously,
the ‘autonomous’ process in UAS makes it an interesting area of research. Although
there are many approaches to localization in outdoor environments, the proposed project primarily
aims to utilize both the deterministic and probabilistic approach to localize the radio
source in an outdoor environment with an autonomous drone, utilising a moxon antenna and
an omni-directional antenna.
