Abstract

Close formation control of multi-UAVs with autopilot is studied in this paper. We focus on the heading speed, heading angle and altitude tracking control issue of leading-follower UAVs. Robust control algorithms are proposed to achieve close formation maneuver under varying flight conditions. It is shown via Lyapunov stability theory that the proposed method is effective in dealing system uncertainties and external disturbances due to vortex arisen from close formation. Simulation study is conducted as a verification. ©2006 IEEE.
