Target localization and encirclement control for multi‐UAVs with limited information

The problem of localization and encirclement control a moving target by multi unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is considered in this paper. main objective to guide the UAVs form evenly spaced formations along circumference, with centre circumference tracking movement target. Firstly, each UAV assumed only obtain bearing angle information target, for which an estimator developed localize measurements. Thereafter, distributed algorithm based on cooperative path following (CMPF) designed drive multi-UAVs circumnavigate around at desired distance, thus developing pursue cooperatively. Finally, simulation results demonstrate effectiveness proposed method.
