Abstract

In this paper we mainly studies the cooperative tracking issue of multi-UAV based on formation control. The theory and method of formation control are introduced in the paper to ensure the continuous and effective ground target tracking results. The tracking targets are regarded as the leader or the structural center of the formation. The multi-UAVs are considered as followers to form an unstable formation system. The formation stability can be maintained by constructing control law to ensure the continuous and effective tracking of intelligent targets by the multi-UAV. The formation control method based on the leader-follower system and the potential function are adopted to ensure the stability of formation consists of UAVs and the target, so that UAVs can keep tracking of the target. We prove the tracking strategy and the formation control results by MATLAB simulation.
