ABSTRACT

In the process of unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) cruising formation flight control, traditional step predictive control method limits the maneuverability of the aircraft, prone to excessive regulation, which leads to the unmanned aerial vehicle collision problems. In this paper,a scheme of using multi-model predictive control method to design cruising formation controller will be described, which converts the nonlinear rolling optimization problem into linear quadratic optimization problem, improves the real-time nonlinear prediction, and finally realizes the reliable control of the unmanned aerial vehicle formation. Through the simulation experiment it can be seen that based on multi-model predictive control for UAV cruising formation control can not only meet the control requirements, but also can satisfy the real-time requirements.
