Efficient optimization techniques for resource allocation in UAVs mission framework.

ABSTRACT: This paper considers the generic problem of a central authority selecting an appropriate subset of operators in order to perform a process (i.e. mission or task) in an optimized manner. The subset is selected from a given and usually large set of 'n' candidate operators, with each operator having a certain resource availability and capability. This general mission performance optimization problem is considered in terms of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) acting as firefighting operators in a fire extinguishing mission and from a deterministic and a stochastic algorithmic point of view. Thus the applicability and performance of certain computationally efficient stochastic multistage optimization schemes is examined and compared to that produced by corresponding deterministic schemes.
