With the rapid development of aerospace technology and information technology,
cooperative multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) formation demonstrates the
excellent coordination and intelligence, as an important trend in the current field
of UAVs. In response to complex flight environments and diverse dynamic tasks,
cooperative multi-UAV flight exhibits well task scalability and fault tolerance,
which are widely applied in several areas, such as remote sensing, search and rescue,
surveillance, wireless relay, fire monitoring and detection, agricultural production
management. Among these tasks, the cooperative control system plays an important
role for ensuring the reliability and stability of UAV formation flight. It is typically
divided into two parts: the guidance layer and the control layer. Regarding the
guidance layer, the UAVs calculate the reference commands for speed and attitude
based on the desired flight trajectory and formation configuration. On the other hand,
the control layer stabilizes the reference tracking of speed and attitude by controlling
the actuators of ailerons, rudders, elevators, and throttle.
