This work examines the competition and allocation of multiple solar-powered unmanned aerial vehicles (SUAVs) to a single thermal since multiple SUAVs often demonstrate superior mission performance compared to a single SUAV. Additionally, they can harvest extra energy from thermal updrafts. This work considers two conditions, a non-cooperative competition and a cooperative allocation of thermal. In each case, corresponding objective functions and constraints are established, and assignment schemes are derived by solving these objective functions. The allocation results are simulated and integrated with the dynamics and solar energy model. The numerical results show that, in the non-cooperative mode, the first vehicle to reach the thermal can occupy it for soaring, while the remaining SUAVs will fly towards the destination directly. But in the cooperative mode, the multiple SUAVs will allocate the thermal to the SUAV with the highest energy gain through soaring, to maximize the overall electric energy storage of the SUAV group.
