Abstract
In this paper, 2-D optimal C–C–C class paths are determined for unmanned air vehicles performing target touring with kinematic and tactical constraints. Using vector calculus, a path-planning problem is decomposed to yield a parameter optimization problem. An efficient hybrid optimization algorithm is then used to solve the parameter optimization problem. Illustrative numerical simulations are given to demonstrate the efficacy of our approach.
