Popis: This paper puts forward a joint optimization algorithm of task assignment and flight path planning for a heterogeneous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) cluster in a multi-mission scenario (MMS). The basis of the proposed algorithm is to establish constraint and threat models of a heterogeneous UAV cluster to simultaneously minimize range and maximize value gain and survival probability in an MMS under the constraints of task payload, range, and task requirement. On one hand, the objective function for the heterogeneous UAV cluster within an MMS is derived and it is adopted as a metric for assessing the performance of the joint optimization in task assignment and flight path planning. On the other hand, since the formulated joint optimization problem is a multi-objective, non-linear, and non-convex optimization model due to its multiple decision variables and constraints, the roulette wheel selection (RWS) principle and the elite strategy (ES) are introduced in an ant colony optimization (ACO) to solve the complex optimization model. The simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm is superior and more efficient compared to other approaches.
