COOPERATIVE control of multiple UAVs (unmanned aerial
vehicles) and/or (unmanned combat aerial vehicles) has been
an emerging issue for future application to sophisticated military
missions. In particular, various new concepts using UAVs for
challenging missions are under active investigation. In the scenarios
of some special military missions such as Wide Area Search and
Destroy, Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance, and
Suppression of Enemy Air Defense (SEAD), the team cooperation
of multiple UAVs is key to accomplishing these missions; to
effectively use multiple UAVs, task assignment and path planning
are crucial steps taken before an actual operation. In this paper, we
discuss cooperative task assignment and path planning of multiple
UAVs for SEAD missions.
