Rapid search methods for UAVs in space launch missions
Ru Li, Yu Peng · 2024
To overcome the challenges associated with debris search during space launch missions, this paper proposes a method for rapid aerial search utilizing UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). By thoroughly analyzing the specific requirements and characteristics of space search missions, an optimal search strategy is determined through a pre-assessment of relevant parameters using pattern control. The proposed method integrates both hierarchical and holistic approaches, employing mathematical abstraction to develop a unified model that encompasses flight trajectory and gimbal control. This model is then solved to derive a generalized planning method for UAV operations in space search missions.
