Designers are looking to reduce the cost of drone systems for a wide range of applications but still need to provide accurate positioning data. This however is not as easy is it might appear. There are several satellite positioning systems, from the U.S.-backed GPS and European Galileo to NavIC in India and Beidou in China, providing data down to the meter. However, these need to be augmented by an inertial measurement unit (IMU) that provides more accurate positioning data that is vital.
