Path Planning of UAV Based on Voronoi Diagram and DPSO

This paper presents a solution strategy for achieving cooperative timing among teams of vehicles. The initial paths are constructed based on Voronoi diagram and based on that, the smoothing paths are designed for the Waypoint Path Planner (WPP). Then it considers the cooperative timing problem and proposes a particle swam optimization algorithm for simultaneous attack. Simulation results show that the approach is of high efficiency in multi-UAVs cooperative timing problem. (c) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
