A software architecture is presented, which introduces several agents which focus on different aspects of path planning for multiple autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV's) that are searching an uncertain and threatening environment for targets. One agent models threats in the environment. Another develops a model of the environment that allows targets to be defined by individual probability distribution. Lastly, an agent is presented that utilizes the information from the other agents to generate a near optimal path plan using a Dynamic Programming algorithm.
