Abstract
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become an essential asset for military and law enforcement operations. In particular their use for surveillance and reconnaissance tasks has been growing due to the quick developments in the areal systems themselves, sensor technology, and image processing techniques that enable near-realtime acquisition of information about activities and/or emergent situations in areas of interest. However, collecting information from all the required locations often is not possible due to the endurance of the UAV. This chapter will address the online UAV planning problem wherein operators have to plan UAV missions in the most efficient way based on available information on the performance of the UAV and additional requests for information
