HUNT: High-Speed UAV Navigation and Tracking in Unstructured Environments via Instantaneous Relative Frames
arXiv:2509.19452v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Search and rescue operations require unmanned aerial vehicles to both traverse unknown unstructured environments at high speed and track targets once detected. Achieving both capabilities under degraded sensing and without global localization remains an open challenge. Recent works on relative navigation have shown robust tracking by anchoring planning and control to a visible detected object, but cannot address navigation when no target is...
