ROUTE PLANNING FOR A GROUND VEHICLE THROUGH UNFAMILIAR TERRAIN A method is provided for supporting one or more ground vehicles (106) on a mission that includes traversal of a ground region. The method includes accessing geospatial data produced from an aerial survey of the ground region, and performing an analysis of the geospatial data to produce terrain data (618, 718, 818) that describes the ground region. The terrain data (618, 718, 818) is weighted based on constraints of the one or more ground vehicles (106), and an order of priority of criteria of the mission. A map is constructed in which the ground region is expressed as a geospatially-mapped array of the weighted terrain data, and the map is searched for a path that meets the criteria of the mission. The path is described by a series of waypoints that define a route across the ground region, and an indication of the route is output for the one or more ground vehicles (106) to traverse during the mission.
