Advances in hardware technology have enabled more integration of sophisticated software,
triggering progresses in development and employment of Unmanned Vehicles (UVs), and
mitigating restraints for onboard intelligence. As a result, UVs can now take part in more
complex mission where continuous transformation in environmental condition calls for
higher level of situational responsiveness. This paper serves as an introduction to UVs
mission planning and management systems aiming to highlight some of the recent …
