Abstract :
In the context of multi-UAVs performing target search missions, we solve a problem of optimal time-duration allocation to each visual search task and the rest time after processing it. First, we design a decision support system framework based on the operator decision-making model. Then we put forward an algorithm which is intended to solve the problem based on dynamic programming using a receding horizon strategy. Finally, we compare this algorithm with the greedy policy. The simulation results show that this algorithm is better than the greedy policy.
