Y. Lu¹, Q. Chen¹, Y. Wang¹; ¹National University of Defense technology, China

Multi-UAVs cooperative operations with strict time constraint have become a common form for future application. The methods of time-constrained path planning based on ant colony algorithm is proposed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness. Three strategies for multi-UAVs time adjustment are demonstrated, including takeoff time adjustment, discrete speed adjustment, and hovering for waiting.
