It was proposed to use cellular ant algorithm in path planning of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV).A series of improvements were made in cellular ant algorithm on the basis of the basic ant colony algorithm.Then the improved ant colony algorithm was used together with evolutionary rule of cellular in cellular space.The simulation results showed that the cellular ant algorithm could help the solutions to escape from their local optimum and could find a better path at higher convergence speed and with a higher precision.Therefore,the cellular ant algorithm is an effective method for such kind of multi-objective optimization problems with multiple constraints as UAV path planning under complex environment.
