The project introduces a novel approach for energy-efficient three-dimensional online path planning for UAV formations operating in complex environments. We formulate the path planning problem as a minimization optimization problem and employ Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) to achieve optimal solutions. The cost function is designed to minimize energy consumption while considering the inter-collision and intra-collision avoidance constraints within a limited detection range.
