In this paper, the issue of path planning is addressed for unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) cooperative joint-forces electronic attack operating in a hostile environment. Specifically, the objective is to plan path to a target location in a way that minimizes exposure to threats while keeping fuel usage at acceptable levels. We consider a scenario where a group of UAVs flies in a close formation an...

Recent years have seen rapidly growing interest in the development of networks of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (U.A.V.s), as aerial sensor networks for the purpose of coordinated monitoring, surveillance, and rapid emergency response. This has triggered a great deal of research in higher levels of planning and control, including collaborative sensing and exploration, synchronized motion pl...

The development of large software systems is teamwork that requires tool support for coordinating cooperative activities, maintaining project control and sharing information. Existing collaborative environments that aim to support cooperative software development often try to predefine and automate the development process. This leads to problems since software development is a highly dynamic pr...

The Functionally-Accurate, Cooperative (FA/C) paradigm provides a model for task decomposition and agent interaction in a distributed problem-solving system. In this model, agents need not have all the necessary information locally to solve their subproblems, and agents interact through the asynchronous, co-routine exchange of partial results. This model leads to the possibility that agents may...

We address the issue of multi-aircraft cooperative strategic trajectory planning in free-route airspace (FRA) this study, taking into consideration impact time-varying and altitude-varying wind forecast uncertainty. A bi-level model was established response to properties wind. The upper level focused on minimizing flight time, while lower aimed reduce potential conflicts. Meanwhile, a heuristic...
