This paper describes a novel approach for the real-time coordination of multi-vehicle teams to perform reconnaissance and surveillance missions. Our approach incorporates a powerful algorithmic framework, which we have used to develop dynamic route and sensor planning algorithms for multi-vehicle team coordination. Furthermore, this framework allows the development of a class of algorithms to match the extent of communication and coordination permissible for the particular mission. We have implemented a prototype of this framework and presented results for the case when full coordination between the teammates is allowed.
