It is evident from the study of literatures that there are a great many of approaches to the
conflict detection and resolution (CDR) research for civil aviation. However, there has been …

Optimal control theory has become such an important field in aerospace engineering that no
graduate student or practicing engineer can afford to be without a working knowledge of it …

THE cooperation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has been investigated in many
applications, such as wide area search, persistent surveillance, and forest firefighting [1, 2] …

This paper presents an trust-region filtered sequential convex programming (TRF-SCP) to
reduce computational burdens of multi-UAV trajectory planning. In TRF-SCP, the trust-region …

In this paper the problem of optimal path planning and power allocation for an Unmanned
Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is explored. The UAV is equipped with photovoltaic cells on top of its …

In this paper, energy optimal surveillance trajectories for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV)
are explored. The main objective is to have maximum sensor coverage range while …

This paper presents a general quadratic optimization methodology for autonomous path
planning of spatial rigid motion with constrained attitude. The motion to be planned has six …

Generating dynamically feasible trajectory for fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
in dense obstacle environments remains computationally intractable. This paper proposes a …

In this paper, we examine a unit quaternion based method to design the optimal paths with
maximum sun exposure for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with photovoltaic …

This paper describes a method for handling restricted airspace in trajectory optimization
problems while maintaining the full dynamics of the aircraft model. The discussion is limited …
