The navigation of a small unmanned aerial vehicle is challenging due to a large influence of wind to its kinematics. When the kinematic model is reduced to two dimensions, it has the form of the Dubins kinematic vehicle model. Consequently, this paper addresses the problem of minimizing the expected time required to drive a Dubins vehicle to a prescribed target set in the presence of a stochastically varying wind. First, two analytically-derived control laws are presented. One control law does not consider the presence of the wind, whereas the other assumes that the wind is constant and known a priori. In the latter case it is assumed that the prevailing wind is equal to its mean value; no information about the variations of the wind speed and direction is available. Next, by employing numerical techniques from stochastic optimal control, feedback control strategies are computed. These anticipate the stochastic variation of the wind and drive the vehicle to its target set while minimizing the expected tim...
