Abstract: A system and method for tilt dead reckoning is provided. The system and method allows an autopilot of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to perform dead reckoning with a hovering vehicle during GNSS signal loss by estimating the position and velocity of the vehicle based on its pitch and roll angles and known vehicle dynamics.
