At present, the method of using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with traditional navigation equipment for inspection of overhead transmission lines has the limitations of expensive sensors, difficult data processing, and vulnerable to weather and environmental factors, which cannot ensure the safety of UAV and power systems. Therefore, this paper establishes a mathematical model of spatial distribution of transmission lines to study the field strength distribution information around transmission lines. Based on this, research the navigation and positioning algorithm. The data collected by the positioning system are input into the mathematical model to complete the identification, positioning, and safety distance diagnosis of the field source. The detected data and processing results can provide reference for UAV obstacle avoidance navigation and safety warning. The experimental results show that the positioning effect of the positioning navigation algorithm is obvious, and the positioning error is within the range of use error and has good usability and application value.

Unmanned autonomous transport vessels (MASS) are the future of maritime transport. The most important task in the design and construction of unmanned ships is to develop algorithms and a computer program for autonomous control. In order for such a computer program to properly control the ship (realizing various functions), the ship must be equipped with a computer system as well as measurement sensors and navigation devices, from which the recorded parameters are processed and used for autonomous control of the ship. Within the framework of conducted research on autonomous ships, an experimental model of an unmanned ship was built. This model was equipped with a propulsion system not commonly used on transport vessels (two azimuth stern thrusters and two bow tunnel thrusters), but providing excellent propulsion and steering characteristics. A complete computer system with the necessary measuring sensors and navigation devices has also been installed in the model of the ship, which enables it to perform all functions during autonomous control. The objective of the current research was to design and build a prototype computer system with the necessary measurement sensors and navigation devices with which to autonomously control the unmanned ship model. The designed computer system is expected to be optimal for planned tasks during control software tests. Tests carried out on open waters confirmed the correctness of the operation of the computer system and the entire measurement and navigation equipment of the built model of the unmanned transport vessel.

A hybrid simulation of the guidance and navigation system of the Apollo spacecraft is underway at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Instrumentation Laboratory. The Apollo Guidance and Navigation equipment is digital, elec tronic, and electromechanical. The guidance and naviga tion analog and digital hardware is combined in simulation with analog and digital computers so that the hardware will be subjected to dynamic conditions approaching those found in a space environment. The instrumentation of the Apollo Guidance and Navi gation System is described as well as its adaptation to the hybrid simulation. Software models are discussed to indi cate some of the varied problems considered. Digital pro cedures which are designed to support the operator and enhance the reliability of the simulation are described. In conclusion, it becomes apparent that the judicious use of computers, together with guidance and navigation hardware and software, makes it possible to simulate in real time any part of the Apollo mission from lift-off to splash-down.
