The R&D study aims to investigate military low flight maneuvers with helicopters and UAVs. To this end optimization-based path planning techniques with collision avoidance are being developed. Detailed landscape maps in combination with LiDAR measurements are used to define constraints in the underlying nonlinear model-predictive control methods. Models of different complexity are used depending on the type of maneuvers which are to be performed. The project comprises algorithmic development, code development in C++, and implementation of flight tests using quadrocopters.
