The Dynamics of the Movement of Formations of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Authors: ,
Abstract: The article presents a simulation analysis for flight in formation on the example of an unmanned aerial vehicles. The introduction presents the structure of group flights. The existing solutions in the algorithms responsible for flight of the UAV formations, focusing on the pure laws of physics, as well as research aimed at indicating the economic benefit for aviation applications were subsequently analyzed. Then a mathematical model was presented, which, optimized for three different positions in the longitudinal axis of the UAV object, allowed to obtain reliable results of the winger coordinates relative to the leader. The main goal of the article was to present simulation studies regarding the stability of the flight trajectory of unmanned aerial vehicles formations in a leader-guided control system for a group of two, three, four, five and six objects. In the final part of the article, based on the analysis of the literature on the subject of research, the mathematical model of the UAVs object created and simulation tests carried out in the field of unmanned aerial vehicle trajectory stability, final conclusions were formulated, which are reflected in practical application.
