Multi-UAV Formation Path Planning Based on Compensation Look-Ahead Algorithm

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

"On page 9, under the subsection 'Analysis of the Simulation Experiments,' it might add value to define what constitute dense and sparse regions. Additionally, in Experiment 3, which involves three UAVs taking off from a designated location, would it be possible to show different initial locations for all UAVs? I believe it would be more beneficial to demonstrate the algorithm's effectiveness when all UAVs start at totally different locations and showcase the method's effectiveness." Also instead of word "Experiment", I advise to use word "Simulation". Experimentation might give an impression that this proposed algorithm was implemented in the hardware.

Comments on the Quality of English Language

The quality of English in general is good. Some gramatical errors that should be reviewed, such as

a) compared with others algorthim, at pg.2; 

b) In line 161 "as show" --> as shown

Typo/minors:

1- Pg 2: “This 72 algorithm is compared with others algorthim such..."

2- Pg 4, line 134: format of commas used: phi_x , phi_y, phi_theta

3- Fig. 3 and 4 with the same legend

4 - Pg 5, line 192: format of comma used. 

5 - Pg 10, line 320: …ahead algorithm consistently better…  à … ahead algorithm is consistently better…

6 - Pg 13 , line 380 -381: review “…the ETSP algorithm is used to pre allocate the large-scale target points to be allocated and a single drone, forming…”
