Intelligent Routing and Coordination for Unmanned Aerial Systems

This project trains a machine learning model to generate real-time, safe obstacle-avoidance flight routes for unmanned aircraft, replacing a legacy routing system too slow for dynamic airspace conditions. The model is optimized for safety, fuel efficiency, and waypoint compliance, with a potential extension to coordinated multi-aircraft formation flight and fleet navigation integrity.
