Real-Time Solutions Of Robust Energy-Aware Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Routing

Abstract

The Marine Corps force design priorities call for a small mobile force capable of conducting expeditionary advanced basing operations (EABO). Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are the perfect platform to support this mission, but the Marine Corps will need an energy-aware routing system capable of solving a system of multiple depots and UAVs while considering weather forecasts. Due to limited internal energy available on UAVs, units must carefully consider energy consumption rates when routing assets. Weather variance can significantly impact energy requirements and must be accounted for to produce a robust energy-feasible solution.
