Abstract

Many common operational situations in High Altitude Endurance (HAE) UAV reconnaissance necessitate more direct human involvement in the aircraft control process than is currently acknowledged or allowed. The In-Flight Replanning System (IFRS) is developed as a notional solution, with the Global Hawk HAE UAV as the reconnaissance system model. Problematic scenarios for current in-flight mission replanning systems are presented and revisited with the IFRS, demonstrating improved replanning results.
