Abstract
A system for generating an environment for an operation using a set of assets includes processor(s) configured to obtain data associated with task(s) to be performed by a set of assets, wherein: 1) the set of assets comprises semi-autonomous drones and 2) the data associated with the task(s) comprises other drone flight plan(s); determine a discretized representation of the geographic location, wherein the discretized representation comprises discrete elements each corresponding to a volume associated with the geographic location; annotate the discretized representation with the other drone flight plan(s) to create an annotated representation; determine a first flight plan of one drone, wherein the first flight plan is determined based on the annotated representation; and communicate information pertaining to the first flight plan to at least one other asset.
