Abstract

The invention provides a control algorithm of multi-unmanned aerial vehicle cooperation formation and obstacle avoidance. The control algorithm comprises steps of (1) when an unmanned aerial vehicle formation executes a flight task, detecting positions and speed information of the unmanned aerial vehicles and airspace obstacles through an airborne sensor, and abstracting obstacles in a flight space into ball bodies; (2) according to position information of each unmanned aerial vehicle, constructing an unmanned aerial vehicle formation communication topology, and using a distributed transmission method, achieving information interaction between neighborhood unmanned aerial vehicles in the formation; (3) constructing an unmanned aerial vehicle dynamics model; and (4) when detecting an obstacle, determining a safe distance of obstacle avoidance of the unmanned aerial vehicles, judging whether the distance between any unmanned aerial vehicle and the obstacle in the unmanned aerial vehicleformation meets requirements of the safe distance, and if not, adjusting the formation pattern and carrying out obstacle avoidance through a virtual force strategy. The control algorithm is operable and simple; cooperation formation of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles can be achieved; obstacles can be avoided quite flexibly; and the control algorithm is very important for multi-cooperative combats.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of UAV control, and in particular relates to a control algorithm for multi-UAV cooperative formation obstacle avoidance. Background technique [0002] Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have good performance and obvious advantages in autonomously performing complex military and civilian aspects such as airspace surveillance, radiation monitoring, target positioning and tracking. The multi-UAV formation has the advantages of high mission execution success rate, mainly in: (1) large field of view detection, high-precision positioning, multi-angle imaging; (2) can improve the mission execution success rate and overall hit rate; ( 3) The endurance time is extended, and the overall flight resistance is reduced. [0003] When performing missions, there may be obstacles such as buildings, mountains, and flocks of birds in the actual flight airspace of the UAV formation. The existence of these obstacles will threaten ...
