The Dynamics of Group Flights of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
Authors: ,
Abstract: The subject of this article is to present the issue of coordination of various formations of unmanned aerial vehicles, which currently play an important role in modern aviation both in the aspect of performing military and civil tasks. Issues of this kind attracted a lot of attention, among others due to achieving potential benefits, which include various types of issues reflected in practical applications in the form of: supervision, exploration of natural resources, atmosphere research, or the implementation of tasks from the military (search, rescue, reconnaissance and destruction of targets in a large area). The main goal of the article is to investigate the dynamics of UAV objects moving in a group flight by conducting a critical analysis of the subject literature, developing a model of prediction method for flight formation of UAV objects and on this basis performing simulation tests in the Matlab/Simulink programming environment. The final part of the article presents the results obtained from the simulation tests for the considered cases of flight of UAV objects, on the basis of which practical conclusions were formulated.
