In recent years, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) has become a very challenging matter as a basic problem in the mobile robots navigation. This paper describes a new efficient inertial SLAM algorithm for a UAV or an airborne. This inertialSLAM could be properly applied to two different kinds of sensors: (i)Range/Bearing sensorsand (ii)Bearing-only sensors and so it does not need to any other external positioning systems like as GPS or any preprovided data. In this study, acomprehensive system has been presented which not only enhances the three-dimensional SLAM accuracy and performance, but overcomes the two fundamental problems that have less been noticed in previous researchesA) To consider all the degrees of freedom for the UAV that lets the UAV height changesbe usedin addition to two x and y directions. B) It does not experience any limit for the symbols status which means that the system is able to observe all the symbolsin different heights based on inertia sensors. Finally, the accuracy of proposed algorithm has been approved due to the simulation results using the actual aircraft flight data.
