New filtering method enhances safety for drones with degraded GPS signals · 2 sources tracked

Researchers have developed a new method for ensuring the safety of learned separation policies for small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) when Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) signals are degraded. The study evaluated two architectural approaches: action filtering and observation filtering. Observation filtering proved significantly more effective, reducing near mid-air collisions by 90% by presenting the worst-case traffic state directly to the policy, thereby preserving the policy's decision-making authority. AI
