SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING A TRAJECTORY PLANNING ENGINE FOR UNMANNED AIRCRAFT

摘要

Systems and methods for trajectory planning for an unmanned aerial vehicle. A mission specification for fulfillment by an unmanned aerial vehicle is received. The mission specification identifies a waypoint, an optimization criterion, and information identifying the unmanned aerial vehicle. It is determined whether candidate flight trajectories are available. Maneuvers from a motions library that defines available maneuvers are modeled to identify candidate flight trajectories to the waypoint which satisfy a restriction condition and do not conflict with a flight plan for another aerial vehicle. If candidate flight trajectories are available, desired flight trajectories are selected. A mission approval is submitted to a receiving party.
