In this study, we address mission planning for aerial reconnaissance and surveillance platforms. In Aerial Surveillance Problem (ASP), an air platform with surveillance sensors searches a specified number of rectangular areas once by covering inside of rectangles in strips and turns back to base where it starts. This study proposes methods to solve ASP with two conflicting objectives, minimizing distance travelled and maximizing minimum probability of target detection. Computational results show that the proposed methods produce high quality solutions. We propose an interactive procedure to help decision maker choose the most satisfying solution among all the pareto optimal solutions.

Multiobjective aerial surveillance problem
Maraş, Güliz; Karasakal, Esra; Karasakal, Orhan; Department of Industrial Engineering (2013)

Coordinated guidance for multiple UAVs
Cakici, Ferit; Ergezer, Halit; Irmak, Ufuk; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2016-05-01)
This paper addresses the path planning problem of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The paths are planned to maximize collected amount of information from desired regions (DRs), while avoiding forbidden regions (FRs) and reaching the destination. This study focuses on maximizing collected information instead of minimizing total mission time, as in previous studies. The problem is solved by a genetic algorithm (GA) with the proposal of novel evolutionary operators. The initial populations are generat...
Vision-Based Detection and Distance Estimation of Micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Gökçe, Fatih; Üçoluk, Göktürk; Şahin, Erol; Kalkan, Sinan (MDPI, ST ALBAN-ANLAGE 66, CH-4052 BASEL, SWITZERLAND, 2015-9)
Detection and distance estimation of micro unmanned aerial vehicles (mUAVs) is crucial for (i) the detection of intruder mUAVs in protected environments; (ii) sense and avoid purposes on mUAVs or on other aerial vehicles and (iii) multi-mUAV control scenarios, such as environmental monitoring, surveillance and exploration. In this article, we evaluate vision algorithms as alternatives for detection and distance estimation of mUAVs, since other sensing modalities entail certain limitations on the environment...
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Domain: Areas of Research
Demir, Kadir Alpaslan; Cicibas, Halil; ARICA, NAFİZ (2015-07-01)
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) domain has seen rapid developments in recent years. As the number of UAVs increases and as the missions involving UAVs vary, new research issues surface. An overview of the existing research areas in the UAV domain has been presented including the nature of the work categorised under different groups. These research areas are divided into two main streams: Technological and operational research areas. The research areas in technology are divided into onboard and ground techno...
Situation Aware UAV Mission Route Planning
Tulum, Kamil; Durak, Umut; Ider, S. Kemal (2009-03-14)
This paper outlines an agent based approach for UAV (Unmanned Air Vehicles) mission route planning problem. In this context, mission route planning can be defined as finding the "best" set of waypoints for the UAV that will enhance its probability of success in its mission. Mission route planning may be carried out either in premission or in mission time. It may be done either by an onboard control system or by a ground mission planning system. Regardless of these considerations, a problem solving agent for...
