Abstract

AbstractThis manuscript considers the problem of close target reconnaissance by a group of autonomous agents. The overall close target reconnaissance (CTR) involves subtasks of avoiding inter‐agent collisions, reaching a close vicinity of a specific target position, and forming an equilateral polygon formation around the target. The agents performing the task fly at a constant speed to mimic the velocity behavior of small fixed‐wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). A decentralized control scheme is developed for this overall task and the finite‐time convergence of the system under the proposed control law is established. Furthermore, it is guaranteed that no collision occurs among the agent. The relevant analysis and simulation test results are provided. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
