The natural world is a rich source of problem-solving approaches. This paper discusses the feasibility and technical challenges underlying mimicking, or analogously adapting, biological behavioral strategies to mission/flight planning for aerial vehicles engaged in planetary exploration. Two candidate concepts based on natural resource utilization and searching behaviors are adapted to technological applications. Prototypes and test missions addressing the difficulties of implementation and their solutions are also described.
