Challenges and technologies for networked multiple UAVs cooperative control

Multiple vehicles cooperative control is an important field of research for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In this paper, the difficulties and challenges for cooperation of multiple networked UAVs were analyzed. Based on OODA model, the cooperation process of multiple networked UAVs was presented. Furthermore, three key technologies for multiple UAVs cooperative control were proposed, which are multiple vehicles cooperative information sensing under dynamic environment, multiple vehicles distributed mission decision under dynamic network and multiple vehicle autonomous online path planning and path coordination. Finally, the main research content and trend of these key technologies were discussed.
