Optimal Trajectories for Aircraft Avoidance of Multiple Weapon Engagement Zones

The work herein expresses an optimal control problem for an air vehicle to reach a desired location through two dynamic keep out zones. In today’s contested world, there are many instances where air vehicles are denied a portion of the airspace when …

Optimal Trajectories for Multiple-UAS Simultaneous Target Acquisition with Obstacle Avoidance

This work develops feasible path trajectories for a coordinated strike with multiple aircraft in a constrained environment. Using direct orthogonal collocation methods, the two-point boundary value optimal control problem is transcribed into a …
