An off-line path planner for Unmanned Air Vehicles is presented. The planner is based on EvolutionaryAlgorithms, in order to calculate a curved pathline with desired characteristics in a three-dimensional environment.The pathline is represented using B-Spline curves, with the coordinates of its control points being the genes of theEvolutionary Algorithm artificial chromosome. The method was tested in an artificial three-dimensional terrain, fordifferent starting and ending points, providing very smooth pathlines under difficult constraints.
