The best thing about Hacker News is that it provides all the knowledge you need to make your own suburban weapons system.
Last month it was radar [1], this month navigation!
Can you extend the tutorial to cover positioning from the elevation data? :-)

- morkalork 3y agoYes, an overview of INS, terrain matching, and vSLAM algorithms would be interesting. You know, just in case you're flying around somewhere GPS is being jammed right? On a serious note, I hope the Ukrainians who designed and built long range drones that can accurately hit the distillation columns of Russian oil refineries after flying hundreds km through contested air space get the chance to write some books about their accomplishments one day. It's quite the achievement isn't it?
- idontwantthis 3y agoI’m sure it’s quite a challenge, but I don’t think they are autonomously navigating directly to their targets. I’ve read they are using autonomous flight until a hand off to an operator behind enemy lines.
