A model of mission planning for cooperative UAVs

Multiple UAVs cooperative task is an important direction for future unmanned aircrafts. Multiple UAV cooperative system is essentially the problem of task allocating and resource scheduling. The core to solve the problem is to model and optimize reasonably. In this paper we focus on cooperative reconnaissance missions, and abstract different constraints and objectives mathematically. A multiple UAV cooperative reconnaissance mission planning model MPCU is brought up with optimization function. The genetic algorithm is adopted to optimize the model, and by then the correctness of the model is verified.
