UAV Path Prediction for CD&R to Manned Aircraft in a Confined Airspace for Cooperative Mission

Abstract EN

In this paper, a new path prediction approach for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for conflict detection and resolution (CD&R) to manned aircraft in cooperative mission in a confined airspace is proposed.

Path prediction algorithm is established to estimate UAV flight trajectory to predict conflict threat to manned aircraft in time advances (front-end process of CD&R system).

A hybrid fusion model is formulated based on three different trajectory prediction conditions considering scenarios in geographical conditions to aid the generation of appropriate resolution advisory of conflict alert.

It offers a more precise CD&R system for manned and unmanned aircraft in cooperative rescue missions.
