Long Distance/Duration Trajectory Optimization for Small UAVs
This paper presents a system for autonomous soaring flight by small and micro uninhabited aerial vehicles. It combines a prediction of wind field with a trajectory planner, a decision-making block, a low-level flight controller and sensors such as Global Positioning System and air data sensors to enable exploitation of atmospheric energy using thermals, wave, and orographic lift or dynamic soar...
متن کاملMultiple task assignments for cooperating uninhabited aerial vehicles using genetic algorithms
A problem of assigning cooperating uninhabited aerial vehicles to perform multiple tasks on multiple targets is posed as a new combinatorial optimization problem. A genetic algorithm for solving such a problem is proposed. The algorithm allows us to efficiently solve this NP-hard problem that has prohibitive computational complexity for classical combinatorial optimization methods. It also allo...

Introduction In future we envision the role of UAVs or Uninhabited Aerial Vehicles to grow significantly, ultimately encompassing multiple roles such as combat, reconnaissance and surveillance. More broadly, we envision a large class of high performance, highly maneuverable, autonomous vehicles which span the spectrum from VTOL to supersonic flight. A desired feature for such nonlinear, autonom...
