Our paper entitled “Priority-based Dynamic Multi-UAV Positioning for Multi-Target Search and Connectivity” is accepted for publication in IEEE WCNC 2024.

In this work, we propose an event-driven algorithm that integrates a novel connectivity-based prioritization of targets into dynamic positioning and path planning for multi-UAV systems in search and rescue (SAR) missions. Two distinct groups of UAVs are deployed. While search UAVs sense the area of interest as fast as possible, relay UAVs provide connectivity to search UAVs as well as targets depending on their priority level.
