Aerospace Instrument-Making Annotation << Back ROUTING OF TARGETED MOVEMENT BY AN AUTONOMOUS UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE IN THE PROCESS OF PURSUIT OF A MOVING OBJECT V.B. Melekhin, M.V. Khachumov The urgency of developing methods for routing purposeful movement by an autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle in the process of chasing a moving object at low altitude in an a priori undescribed environment with obstacles is substantiated. It is shown that one of the main requirements for such methods is their complexity acceptable for implementation on an on-board computer of an autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle, providing the possibility of organizing the pursuit of a moving object in real time. A method of automatic flight routing has been developed that provides an autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle with the ability to pursue a moving object along a proactive trajectory at low altitude with a short-term loss of its perception, as well as an arbitrary change in the speed and direction of movement of this object in the environment between the prohibited zones located on the ground. Keywords: autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle, air traffic routing, moving object, polar coordinates, meeting point. DOI: 10.25791/aviakosmos.4.2023.1332 Pp. 25-31.
