Guidance, Navigation, and Control Laboratory

Department of Aerospace Engineering l Autonomous Unmanned Vehicle Research Center

Sejong University

GNC (Guidance, Navigation, and Control) Lab. 

Established in March 2000, we are dedicated to advancing flight control system technologies that prioritize high performance, safety, and reliability. Our mission is to lead the future of autonomous air mobility, including drones and UAM eVTOL. Our ultimate objective is to develop state-of-the-art, robust, and reliable flight control systems capable of exceptional performance in extreme environments, proactive fault resolution, and effective mitigation of potential security threats.
