Path Planning for Reconnaissance UAV Based on Ant Algorithm
Heping Wang · Journal of Air Force Engineering University · 2004
To improve the efficiency of UAV in combat mission, a highly effective flight path for the UAV in the execution of the mission should be planned before the mission. This can ensure that the UAV should arrive at the target with a higher survivability and an acceptable path length. In view of this problem, this paper presents an optimal method of path planning based on the Ant Algorithm. The simulation results show that the method has some good characteristics and is effective in path planning.
