Meteorological path planning using dynamic programming for a solar-powered UAV
2015
2015 IEEE Aerospace Conference
Solar-powered Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (SUAV) designed for Low-Altitude Long-Endurance (LALE) applications provide potential multi-day continuous flight capability, but are generally prone to local meteorological impediments such as rain, strong winds or reduced solar irradiance. This paper therefore presents METPASS, the Meteorology-aware Trajectory Planning and Analysis Software for Solar-powered UAVs. METPASS optimizes largescale solar-powered UAV missions using a detailed consideration of
