As the development and application of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) continues so does the requirement for**enhanced improvements to their navigation capabilities. This project extends the development of an Aided**Navigation system (ANS) which provides an alternative means for UAS navigation. Enhancing existing ANS**algorithms, this project will combine information from terrain, optical and anomalies of the Earth Magnetic**fields for determining the UAS coordinates of motion. The proposed technology is especially valuable for both**military and civilian UAS as well as aircraft and ships as it enables accurate navigating in areas where GPS has**been compromised, such as battle environments, and where GPS signal is degraded, such as is the case when**navigation in the Arctic.
