  2021 Vol. 26, #3 - UAV Search Path Optimization for Recording Emerging Targets

This paper considers the situation where targets emerge with a time-dependent arrival rate function for each cell in the area. Target arrivals are simulated and computational testing is conducted to study the impacts of three factors, sensor-capture radius, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) speed, and UAV service time. Factorial analysis shows that sensor-capture radius and UAV service time affect performance significantly. In terms of managerial insights, what we find is that cell visitation priorities should be based on a combination of factors, that include its target-emerging conditions, distance from the start and end points, and available mission time.
