The basic principle, representative methods, and state-of-the-art research of the sub-module related research within the general framework of cooperative maneuvering flight planning from single UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) maneuvering flight to multi-UAV cooperative planning were introduced. It mainly included real-time navigation map construction, discrete-space path planning, continuous-space trajectory planning, hybrid planning based on discrete-space and continuous-space, and multi-courses/trajectories cooperative planning. The next research directions were proposed based on the major technologies of the planning framework.
