Importance of bio-inspired algorithms (BIAs) is increasing exponentially because of their capability to optimization different problems in various fields like artificial intelligence, and medicine etc. Because of the autonomous nature, BIAs are now being used in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for applications areas like internet of things (IoT), autonomous area searching and reconnaissance etc. This paper presents a UAV reconnaissance strategy jointly using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and a few attributes of the penguin search optimization algorithm (PeSOA). The strategy mainly focuses on finding the rescue targets utilizing UAVs by optimizing their movement using combined PSO and PeSOA attributes. The results are analyzed in terms of grouping and non-grouping scenarios with and without using PeSOA attributes.
