This applicationincludes visual software tools optimizedfor specific aircraft roles, and automate the computations associated withaircraft specific flight/mission planning. The main aim during a mission planning is to plan an optimized route for the UAV to avoid detection by enemy radars. The UAV route planned must cover maximum area over a desired area of interest. STK (Systems Tool Kit) and A* algorithm is used optimize the mission route.Read More
