Abstract

This article presents the implementation of mission planning for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). A safe-ring method for real-time path planning of UAV is proposed. Threat modeling, different types of reconnaissance are discussed before the algorithm is described. Kinematical constraints are satisfied with a model which has the same structure as the physical vehicle. A feasible state trajectory was generated, which can be followed by a standard autopilot. The demonstration of the mission planning system shows that the implementation is efficient and satisfying
