Abstract
A method comprising: operating a swarm of autonomous vehicles to maximize a number of intercepted targets, wherein, for each of said autonomous vehicles, the method comprises: identifying a plurality of objects in an operational area as targets or obstacles; determining a location parameter for each of said plurality of objects; calculating a trajectory of motion for said autonomous vehicle based at least in part on said location parameters of each of said plurality of objects, wherein said calculating maximizes: (i) a probability of intercepting each of said targets, and (ii) a probability of avoiding collisions with each of said obstacles; and moving said autonomous vehicle along said trajectory of motion.
