UAV Planner

UAV Planner is an advanced planning and scheduling application that provides automated route planning and sensor tasking for unmanned aerial vehicles. UAV Planner allows operators, designers and engineers to model their UAV systems and perform operational scheduling and analysis using COTS software. UAV Planner  is based on proven satellite collection planning software from Orbit Logic. 

  • Automated flight/route planning 
  • Restricted areas and terrain constraints
  • Configurable aircraft and sensors
  • Multi-vehicle collaboration
  • Image collection planning 
  • Interactive 3D map visualization and animation 
  • Order management and fulfillment tracking
  • In-flight re-tasking
UAV Planner Ops Concept Overview
  • Configure aircraft, sensors, and airstrips
  • Define imaging orders
  • Define sorties
  • Plan sorties using algorithms or manual planning
  • Transmit sortie plans for execution
  • Replan sortie during flight as needed
Key Features
​Configurable aircraft and sensors
  • Add and modify aircraft and flight models
  • Define new sensor types
  • Specify sensor packages on each aircraft
Multi-Vehicle Collaboration
  • Integrated order database
  • Inter-sortie collaborative order fulfillment tracking
  • Fleet view – multi-aircraft / multi-sortie animation

Automated Planning
  • UAV Planner  will automatically plan the flight path and collection schedule for an aircraft sortie within aircraft capabilities to maximize the value of collected imagery 
  • Multiple algorithms compete to optimize each sortie plan 
Manual Planning and Analysis
  • Prioritize or defer targets to influence algorithm solutions
  • Manually create or edit plans
  • Default parameters provided for each image
  • Constraint models notify the operator when a system or mission constraint has been violated 
  • Automatic plan adjustments fix violations

In-Flight Re-Tasking
  • Re-plan starts from current aircraft position
  • Algorithms optimize plan using the dynamically changing order database and restricted areas
  • Maps display new and original plans​
