Abstract
We discuss several techniques that assist in the field deployments of fixed-wing mini-UAVs to assist search teams, focusing on automatic takeoff and landing. We also present a real-time flightpath generation routine that performs a spiral search centered on a target point, and a path planner that creates waypoints for searches up mountain canyons.Keywords
