A Fixed Wing UAV Path Planning Algorithm Based On Genetic Algorithm and Dubins Curve Theory

Path planning is an essential problem in the autonomy research of UAVs. This paper proposes a new path planning algorithm for fixed wing UAVs based on genetic algorithm (GA) and Dubins curve theory. Path planning is treated as a global optimization problem under certain constraints, including the ve...
