This paper presents a battery-aware predictive trajectory-planning and control framework for multirotors operating under spatially localized disturbances. Candidate trajectories are evaluated through closed-loop vehicle–motor–battery propagation, allowing disturbance-induced control demand, electrical energy, battery evolution, and terminal-voltage-dependent actuator capability to enter the planning process. % A reduced-order battery model is numerically benchmarked against an independently implemented Simscape equivalent-circuit reference, with a power NRMSE of 0.64\% and a cumulative-energy discrepancy below 0.7\%. % In a 150-s, 640-m mission containing three disturbance regions, the selected trajectory reduces electrical energy consumption by 7.46\% and position-tracking RMSE by approximately 72\% relative to the disturbance-aware fixed-reference baseline. % Planner ablations show that battery-dependent terms are nonbinding at nominal SOC but alter the selected trajectory under a depleted-battery stress condition. % Execution with multiple feedback controllers further demonstrates that controller selection changes the tradeoff among tracking accuracy, energy consumption, and actuator utilization. % The results demonstrate the benefit of accounting for predicted closed-loop energetic and battery–actuator consequences during trajectory selection.
