| Summary: | Abstract: The article presents the results of research on determining the UAV (Unmanned  Aerial Vehicle) position using the SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation System) positioning  method for the EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) support  system. The experiment used a single-frequency AsteRx-m2 UAS receiver, which recorded  GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite observations and EGNOS corrections. The test  flight was performed in 2020 near Warsaw. Navigational calculations for determining the  position of the UAV during the flight were made in the gLAB v.5.5.1 software. Based on the  performed calculations, the following were determined: BSP coordinates in the ellipsoidal  system BLh, mean errors of BSP coordinates, and values of DOP (Dilution of Precision)  geometric coefficients. In addition, during the calculations, it was found that the mean error  values of the determined BSP coordinates do not exceed 3.6 m, and the maximum value of the  geometric coefficient GDOP (Geometric DOP) is less than 3.5.       Keywords: SBAS, EGNOS, BSP, mean errors, DOP |
