The article proposes a novel approach for optimizing the operations of coalitions of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs). The focus is on efficient path planning in obstructed environments, utilizing a modified mean-shift clustering algorithm and advanced reinforcement learning algorithms. This approach improves the efficiency of reaching targets by segmenting them into multiple zones and assigning targets based on density and range. The method has shown to nearly double efficiency in terms of target navigation time and task completion rate.
