Abstract:

With the advantages of high flexibility, wide adaptability, and controllable economical efficiency, the unmanned aerial vehicle swarm has plenty of applications, and has attracted great attentions at home and abroad. Mission planning is the top-level planning of unmanned aerial vehicle cluster application. It is a compre-hensive scheduling according to the requirements of mission environment situation, task requirements and its own characteristics, so as to establish a reasonable mapping relationship between unmanned aerial vehi-cle and task, and maintain a reasonable cooperative relationship among unmanned aerial vehicles. The present situation of mission planning technology for the unmanned aerial vehicle is summarized comprehensively from two different aspects. One is based on the rule, style of top-down, and the other is based on the swarm intelligence, style of down-top. Some development directions of current mission planning technology research for the unmanned aerial vehicle swarm are analyzed. The summary has important reference significance for the comprehensive understanding of mission planning technology of the unmanned aerial vehicle swarm.

Key words: unmanned aerial vehicle swarm, mission planning, swarm intelligence, swarm behavior, research status
