ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems for planning, managing, and executing the flight path of an unmanned aerial vehicle are disclosed. In particular, the methods and systems are designed to reduce the likelihood that the UAV will be detected by determining a flight path based on the proximity of the UAV to a point of interest and the visual, acoustic, and infrared signatures of the UAV relative to a point of interest. Additionally, the methods and systems enable a UAV operator to compare a recommend flight path and an altered flight path based on how the altered flight path changes the proximity of the UAV to a point of interest, and changes the visual, acoustic, and infrared signatures of the UAV relative to a point of interest.
