- Abstract:
-
In view of the practical background and constraints of formation flight for a class of small UAV models, some key problems involved in formation flight, such as maintaining formation, environmental constraints, and behavior coordination were analyzed in depth in order to introduce the distributed control strategy for formation flight and discuss its advantages. According to the hierarchical concepts and organizational structure of distributed controls, the controller design for both single UAV and multi-UAV formations were studied, respectively. Therefore, the FDC (flight dynamics and control) simulation for single UAV and general Simulink simulation for two-UAV formation flights were carried out separately. The simulation results show that the proposed controllers provide some outstanding advantages in executive efficiency and control performance.
