摘要
This study proposes a modified A* algorithm to solve the problem of real-time unmanned air vehicle (UAV) path planning in a large 3D battlefield environment. Since the UAV has to meet the requirements of high survival rate and low fuel consumption in low-altitude penetration, the algorithm took the flight altitude, detected probability and flight length into consideration to search the optimal flight path between two waypoints. Meanwhile, to satisfy the UAV perfor-mance constraints, such as safety altitude, rate of climb, and radius of turn, the author suggested a series of optimization algorithms to get the final flyable path. Experimental results show that these algorithms have good convergence and high efficiency andprovided a optimal trajectory for decision-makers. ©, 2015, Wuhan Daxue Xuebao (Xinxi Kexue Ban)/Geomatics and Information Science of Wuhan University.
