NavMeshAgent Finding Alternative Route

I am working on a project where the AI can react to the player.

I have a simple AI built for the Alien Enemy

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 using System;
 
 public class basic_alien_ai : MonoBehaviour {
 
     private NavMeshAgent alien_nav;
     public Transform point;
     public float hit_points = 20;
     private bool attacking_enemy;
     private GameObject current_target;
     public LayerMask alien_layer;
 
     void Awake()
     {
         alien_nav = GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>();
         current_target = point.gameObject;
     }
 
     void Update()
     {
         print(attacking_enemy);
         if (hit_points <= 0)
         {
             Destroy(gameObject);
 
         }
         try
         {
             alien_nav.SetDestination(current_target.transform.position);
         }catch(Exception e)
         {
             print("error");
         }
 
         if (current_target.Equals(null) || current_target == null)
         {
             attacking_enemy = false;
             current_target = point.gameObject;
         }
 
         if (attacking_enemy == false)
        {
             transform.LookAt(current_target.transform.position);
         }
 
         
 
         
 
         RaycastHit hit;
 
 
         if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, transform.forward, out hit, 20, ~alien_layer))
         {
             if (hit.collider.tag == "enemy")
             {
                 attacking_enemy = true;
                 current_target = hit.collider.gameObject;
 
             }
         }
     }
 
     void OnCollisionEnter(Collision alien_hit)
     {
         if(alien_hit.gameObject.tag == "enemy")
         {
             Destroy(alien_hit.gameObject);
         }
     }
 }
 

This will make the Alien go to the Destination and also look for any player owned units. If it finds one it will go toward it, then it will continue on.

I wanted to know if there was away so the Alien could find another way to the destination(if there is one)

In other words the NavMeshAgent looks for the next possible way to its destination if there is one. I have yet to come up with anything, or if it is even possible with the NavMesh.

Thank you for any help.
