N2 - Fleet mission planning for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) involves creating flight plans for a specific set of objectives, which typically, have to be achieved over a specific time period. The key challenge is to develop methods allowing to prototype mission plans, encompassing UAV routes and schedules, that are robust to changing weather conditions and energy constraints. This paper presents a declarative approach to solving UAV mission planning problems subject to weather uncertainty. The approach was tested using several examples, for which we analyzed how the achievement of mission goals depended on parameters, such as UAV fleet size, UAV energy capacity, weather changes, including wind direction and wind speed, as well as the structure of the distribution network and the time horizon.
