Highly Reactive, Real-Time Planner for Aggressive 3D Aircraft Maneuvers to Avoid Unguided Threats
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a technique, Probabilistic Road Map (PRM) planning and its application to aircraft for rapidly generating routes using aggressive maneuvers to avoid incoming munitions, terrain, and other aircraft while trying to maintain other mission objectives. The technique was applied to a high fidelity simulation and shown to always generate correct routes within its 0.1 seconds deadline. Results are presented for several scenarios, some of which are quite complex. Future plans are also described.

Adaptive Flight Control Experiments using RAVEN
This paper discusses a new flight test facility at MIT known as the Real-time indoor Autonomous Vehicle test ENvironment (RAVEN) which enables the exploration of aggressive aerobatic flight with relatively low risk. A key feature of this work is that the control algorithms are often the limiting factor because the flight dynamics are highly nonlinear and not well known, and they can change with...
متن کاملAn Intelligent User Interface with Motion Planning for 3D Navigation
Due to the rapid evolution of graphics hardware, interactive 3D graphics is becoming popular on desktop personal computers. However, it remains a challenging task for a novice user equipped with a 2D mouse to navigate in an architectural environment efficiently. We think the problem is partly due to the fact that precise navigation control is difficult to achieve with low frame rates. In this p...

متن کاملParallel Simulation for Autonomous Aircraft Squadrons Using Virtual Structure and a 3d Maneuvers Scheme
A parallel algorithm for simulation of autonomous aircraft squadrons is proposed in this paper. A 3D maneuvers control scheme is presented for the aircraft to follow the reference trajectory by using a well defined geometric formation, called virtual structure. The simulations, employing the aircraft model, show that the aerial vehicles do not loose formation neither collide, even when noise in...
متن کاملDynamically Feasible Probabilistic Motion Planning in Complex Environments for UAVs
In this work, we consider the problem of generating practically implementable path plan for flying unmanned aerial vehicles in 3D Complex environments. This problem is complicated by the fact that, generation of the dynamically and geometrically feasible flight trajectories for agile maneuver profiles requires search of nonlinear state space of the aircraft dynamics. This work suggests a two st...
