Cover Story: UAVs need to traverse multiple essential target points in the shortest possible time in smart city and modern military scenarios. Such missions require UAVs to improve mission execution efficiency by optimizing trajectories. Multi-waypoint trajectory optimization is one of the key technologies for UAVs to perform this kind of complex task, and this paper discusses this technical field in depth, covering the core contents of trajectory planning and time optimization. By adopting the advanced Constrained Parameterized Differential Dynamic Programming (C-PDDP) algorithm, the UAV is able to optimize the flight time of each trajectory segment while meeting the path constraints, which significantly shortens the mission time and improves mission efficiency.
