Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the intersecting field of aviation control and traffic control, and relates to a cooperative control method of heterogeneous unmanned aerial vehicle ground-air joint formation, in particular to a cooperative control method of unmanned aerial vehicle-unmanned vehicle joint formation. Background technique [0002] In recent years, UAV-UAV joint formation, as the research frontier of heterogeneous UAV joint formation, has attracted widespread attention. UAVs can use their height to obtain a farther forward view, while unmanned vehicles can observe specific details close to objects. For the completion of certain tasks, the joint formation of UAVs and unmanned vehicles is better than that of unmanned vehicles alone. Aircraft or unmanned vehicle formations have more advantages, such as completing tasks such as investigation of large areas or minefields, geographic surveys, armed search, rescue and transportation. It is necessary to ...

Problems solved by technology

The principle of the virtual navigator method is mainly that the navigator sends state information to the UAV as its control input. However, by analyzing the nonlinear dynamic models of the UAV and the UAV, it is found that the control target quantities of the two models are inconsistent. This inconsistency The design difficulty of the formation controller is increased and the structure of the UAV-UAV joint formation control system is established

At the same time, the rapid state change of each unmanned aerial vehicle in the joint formation requires higher real-ti...
