Abstract

Nowadays unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has gradually entered people's vision because of its huge application potential, like target tracking, area coverage, remote sensing, etc. In the considered FANETs, one crucial problem is how to decrease the probability of being discovered by an adversary's detection system, while achieving efficient deployment and maintaining the connectivity of the network. To solve this problem, we propose a distributed virtual force motion control (DVFMC) algorithm. This algorithm requires no global information, and every node only finds and communicates with its neighbors automatically. They automatically maintain distance with high-risk areas and perform power control to decrease the energy leakage and therefore have a low probability of detection (LPD) coverage. Our comparative simulation results validate that our algorithm can reduce greatly the probability of being discovered by the adversary's detection system.
