Abstract
Multi-UAV mission planning is a combinational optimization problem, that aims at planning a set of paths for UAVs to visit targets in order to collect the maximum surveillance benefits, while satisfying some constraints. In this paper, a genetic algorithm and ant colony optimization hybrid algorithm is proposed to solve the multi-UAV mission planning. The basic idea of the proposed hybrid algorithm is replacing the bad individuals of the GA's population by new individuals constructed by ant colony algorithm. Also, an efficient recombination operator called path relinking is used for mating. A population partition strategy is adopted for improving the evolving efficiency. Experimental results suggested that the proposed hybrid algorithm can solve the test instances effectively in a reasonable time. The comparison study with several existing algorithms shows that the proposed algorithm is competitive and promising.
