N2 - A fleet of homogeneous UAVs fly in a 2D plane matching a distribution network to service customers in a collision-free manner. Limited UAVs' battery capacity and UAVs' weight reduction during they traveling along planned routes and goods delivery as well as changing weather conditions are also taken into account. The goal is to determine a set of routings covering all delivery points so that the total distance traveled by the UAVs fleet is constrained by a battery capacity limit. All customers' demands are realized within a given time horizon and take into account forecasted weather constraints, focusing on changes in a wind speed and direction. In this context, the main objective is to propose a declarative model allowing one to prototype proactive routings of UAVs fleet mission. Computational experiments assessing alternative strategies of UAVs fleet mission robust to forecast weather conditions are discussed.
