Keywords: path planning, multi helicopter coordination search, genetic algorithm

A path planning method of several helicopters with multi search and rescue mission was proposed in this paper. For relief of the severe nature disasters and improving the efficiency, the feasibility and fitness value was introduced in genetic algorithm. Simulation results showed that the solution is valid and appropriate.
