Abstract
The systems and methods of the present disclosure provide a path panning algorithm for fixed-wing aerial vehicles that may be employed, particularly for monitoring of long linear infrastructures. The applicants' earlier patent applications address turn angle constraints for fixed wing aerial and maintaining transmission continuity in presence of coverage holes by imposing a plurality of constraints along with storage constraints. The present disclosure addresses a technical challenge of simultaneously meeting multiple objectives; particularly distance cost and communication cost while satisfying the plurality of constraints that enable pruning of feasible paths in a 3D Euclidean navigation space to obtain a set of optimal paths for surveillance of a target under consideration.
