Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs), which have been popular in the military context, have recently attracted attention of many researchers because of their potential civilian applications. However, before UAVs can fly in civilian airspace, they need to be able to navigate safely to its goal while maintaining separation with other manned and unmanned aircraft during the transit. Algorithms for autonomous...
In this paper a scalable and flexible Architecture for real-time mission planning and dynamic agent-to-task assignment for a swarm of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) is presented. The proposed mission planning architecture consists of a Global Mission Planner (GMP) which is responsible of assigning and monitoring different high-level missions through an Agent Mission Planner (AMP), which is in charge...
An algorithm was developed for the formation flight of a team of fixed-wing aircraft to follow a desired trajectory described in terms of given waypoints. In-flight formation change can be commanded at set points along the trajectory or on demand. The algorithm makes use of the Hungarian algorithm for formation position assignment in a local tangent coordinate system. Trajectories of the aircraft...
