Autonomous helicopter operations in the near-earth environment will require robust and efficient obstacle field route planning. A method for obstacle field route planning is presented, which is composed of a mesh generation phase, a graph search phase, and a route refinement phase. The method mixes optimization and heuristics to obtain a satisfactory solution quickly. Simulations based on an unmanned helicopter model are presented.
