Mission Planner for UAV Battery Replacement

In contrast to techniques such as Mixed-Integer Linear The ability to deploy and operate multiple unmanned aerial Programming (MILP) [14] or other optimization methods that vehicles (UAVs) simultaneously for extended periods is highly plan the overall mission, our approach leverages the wellknown advantageous in a variety of applications, including surveillance, A* algorithm [15] to efficiently find the optimal times search and rescue, and environmental monitoring [1], for battery replacements, considering the UAVs' current states [2]. However, the management of a swarm of UAVs presents and mission progress.
