Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the self-organizing network technology of unmanned aerial vehicle swarms, in particular to a formation flying method of unmanned aerial vehicle swarms and unmanned aerial vehicles for saving communication bandwidth. Background technique
[0002] UAV formation flight refers to the flight of multiple UAVs in the air in a designated formation. At present, there are three main technical solutions for UAV formation flight. The first is that the ground controls the position of each UAV in the air through a one-to-many ground-to-air communication link; the second is to designate one of the swarms. The drone is the leader, and the other drones are wingmen. The leader sends its position to the wingman through a one-to-many link in the air, and the wingman automatically follows the leader after obtaining the leader's position; the third type is the designated cluster. One UAV is the lead plane, and the other UAVs are wingmen. All UAVs s...
