In order to finish the assembly mission for multiple fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) cooperatively, in this paper, a range compensation based cooperative path planning method is proposed by dividing the planning path process into two parts: Fast Generation of Initial Path and Range Adjustment. To provide a preferable initial condition for the Initial Path part, Dubins path method is firstly utilized for achieving heading angle consistency. Subsequently, a time based online cooperative range adjustment method is developed to ensure that the path range of each UAV to reach synchronization. Consequently, the fixed-wing UAVs are able to reach the terminal point simultaneously, thus completing the assembly mission successfully. The simulation results show that this proposed method can achieve time coordination efficiently by using range adjustment mechanism and generate the cooperative path for fixed-wing UAVs.
