Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been widely used in the field of remote sensing, due to the its flexibility and high resolution. However, the current remote sensing applications of UAVs are dominated by single UAV operations. There is still a lack of collaborative planning of UAV networking and the operation efficiency also needs to be improved. The UAV networking remote sensing can overcome these problems and provide high-frequency, multi-scale, multi-platform, and multi-load networking observations. The timely large-scale ultra-high-resolution data provided by the UAV networking remote sensing allow for large-scale ecological environment monitoring, flood disaster monitoring, and emergency monitoring of homeland security. Moreover, the UAV track planning can provide an optimal trajectory for high-frequency remote sensing observations. Thus, the research on UAV remote sensing track planning is of great significance. Given the increasing complex aerial tasks of remote sensing and increasing field station resources, a UAV networking remote sensing track planning model based on field stations is proposed in which the task assignment of the multi-unit network is carried out based on the optimized track planning of single UAV. Firstly, the optimization of track for a single UAV is carried out. The total flight of the drone is divided into effective flight and ineffective flight. By analyzing the remote sensing task constraints of a single UAV proves, we find that there is the highest efficiency when the ineffective flight is the shortest. The ineffective flight is determined by the turning flight and the flight of the UAV to and from the station. Therefore, the track optimization method to improve the efficiency of a single UAV is determined by reducing the turning distance and the distance that UAV to and from the station. The optimal flight direction is determined by the "minimum width" and the optimal mission starting point is determined by the principle that the flight of UAV to and from the station is the shortest. Secondly, based on the optimized track planning of a single UAV, a station-based task assignment algorithm for UAV networking is proposed. This algorithm takes into account the flight of each UAV to and from the station and takes full advantage of all flight. The task assignment is finally carried out by obtaining the track planning of UAV networking with the least number of UAVs. The feasibility of the model is verified by simulation examples in this study.
