“…The limitations unique to MAVs limit the choice of accelerometers to MEMS type, which has struggled to reach tactical grade (Dong et al, 2011) and more recently navigation grade (Keller, 2013). MEMS accelerometer's vulnerability to vibration and temperature variation has led to lower performance and reliability issues (Li et al, 2005, Sarihan et al, 2008. Packaging stresses due to temperature variation, humidity, and vibration can affect performance and increase the potential for sensor failures (Jian et al, 2011).…”
