On Reconnaissance Path Planning of UAV
Changsheng Jiang · Electronics Optics & Control · 2010
Whether the integrated reconnaissance/strike UAV can hit the target exactly or not depends to a great extent on the previous reconnaissance.Thus the autonomous path planning system is very important to the UAV.First,the reconnaissance and strike integrated system of UAV was designed.After that,the models of searching area,detecting area of the airborne reconnaissance equipment and the maneuver library of the UAV were built up.Then decisions were made according to the performance index.The simulation results showed that: 1) the system can make decisions autonomously according to the situation;2) the path generated by the system can satisfy the autonomous reconnaissance of the UAV,which can make the probability of finding targets highest.
