Abstract

An air vehicle navigation system and method comprising a microcontroller unit and a radio receiver unit both located onboard an air vehicle, the system further comprising a control station for controlling the air vehicle at a predetermined distance from the air vehicle, wherein the control station is configured to store at least one map discretized according to a grid comprising grid locations representing points in a flying field where the air vehicle flies, wherein a determined score is associated to each grid location upon the map according to thermals located in the points in the flying field represented by the grid locations; wherein, according to the system and method, the microcontroller unit is configured for receiving, via the at least one radio receiver unit, instructions from the at least one control station for flying the air vehicle towards points in the flying field where atmospheric thermal activity is located.
