Abstract Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) are becoming ever more promising over the
last decade. The Sense and Avoid (S&A) system plays a profoundly important role in …

Smart Autonomous Aircraft: Flight Control and Planning for UAV introduces the advanced
methods of flight control, planning, situation awareness, and decision making. This book is …

In this article, a novel real-time time-optimal trajectory planning (TOTP) approach is
proposed for rotorcrafts under velocity constraints and complex nonconvex thrust, attitude …

This paper presents a numerical optimization algorithm for generating approach and landing
trajectories for a six-degree-of-freedom (6-DoF) aircraft. We improve on the existing research …

The paper is devoted to the problem of the decentralized control of unmanned aerial vehicle
(UAV) formation in the case of parametric uncertainty. A new version of the feedback …

When attempting to drive collision-free paths in emergency situations, automobiles are
limited by the amount of force their tires can produce through friction. A road's topography …

Dynamics and Control technologies play a central role in the development and operation of
decision support systems of modern air traffic management systems. Recent emergence of …

The approach presented in this paper provides real-time estimation of a gaseous plume
concentration using an unmanned aerial vehicle with sensors. The plume is generated by a …

This paper presents a method for the energy-optimal operation of a fixed-wing aircraft
tracking a prescribed landing path in the three-dimensional space with a fixed time of arrival …

This paper investigates the trajectory planning problem for fixed-wing UAVs with various
constraints. Solving the problem by nonlinear programming or successive convex …
