A COMPUTATIONALLY EFFICIENT GUIDANCE SYSTEM FOR A SMALL UAV

Guillaume Ducard, Hans P. Geering

2007

Abstract

In this paper, a computationally efficient guidance algorithm has been designed for a small aerial vehicle. Preflight path planning only consists of storing a few waypoints guiding the aircraft to its target. The paper presents an efficient way to model no-fly zones and to generate a path in real-time in order to avoid the obstacles, even in the event of wind disturbance.
