The application of MAV’s in large GNSS-denied environments often asks for a distributed and scalable localisation system with minimal reliance on static localisation hardware. In this research a distributed ultra-wideband (UWB) localisation system that takes advantage of the collaborative capabilities of a swarm of MAV’s has been developed and tested in both simulation and practice. Additionally, a modular UWB simulator has been developed which enables researchers to test UWB localisation schemes for a swarm of MAV’s. It has been found that when taking advantage of the UWB inter-agent ranging capabilities of a swarm of micro air vehicles, one can increase the coverage of an UWB setup in spaces with coverage-issues and conversely increase the accuracy of an existing UWB setup that has full UWB coverage.
