12 Fix-Wing Testbed for HGuide INS/GNSS (o360) Navigator

Summary

Testing advanced navigation systems on full-scale aircraft can be costly and introduce operational risk during early development. This project addresses that challenge by working with Honeywell International Inc. to develop a scaled fixed-wing flight testbed. The system integrates navigation hardware and communication components into a compact platform capable of autonomous operation. It enables controlled, repeatable flight testing and data collection. The goal is to support validation of navigation technology while reducing cost, development time and risk compared to traditional testing methods.
