A CONTROL ALGORITHM FOR JOINT FLIGHT OF A GROUP OF DRONES

Abstract

Using drones in groups in the military field is not a novel idea. A massive attack by a large amount of equipment is known to be very difficult to prevent. Therefore, it is a good tactic to sacrifice some of the relatively cheap drones to destroy special enemy targets in a massive attack. This raises the issue of joint control of the behaviour of a group of drones. This paper proposes a System of Systems ideology-based decision-making system that allows to individually control each drone in a group flight. An algorithm is developed that allows controlling drones by controlling their speed.
