Abstract
This paper proposes a control method of UAV formation reconfiguration, and accomplishes simulation of the transformation of UAV formation from a defensive formation to an offensive one using MATLAB/Simulink. Then, a visual simulation platform is built to display the simulation process in the form of animation and make the results more intuitive. The platform is built by means of MFC, Vega API and MATLAB engine.
Highlights
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) possess many advantages compared with manned vehicles such as smaller size, better maneuverability, stronger adaptability and no pilot casualties etc
By means of Vega’s powerful three-dimension visual simulation function, this paper builds a platform with MFC, Vega API and MATLAB engine [5, 6]
Formation reconfiguration of three UAVs is designed as Fig. 6, three UAVs change their formation from formation 1 to formation 2
Summary
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) possess many advantages compared with manned vehicles such as smaller size, better maneuverability, stronger adaptability and no pilot casualties etc. It’s hard for a single UAV to monitor the whole battlefield information due to the restrict of its detection equipment. To overcome these problems, multiple UAVs formation is a considerable method [2]. By means of Vega’s powerful three-dimension visual simulation function, this paper builds a platform with MFC, Vega API and MATLAB engine [5, 6]. This platform demonstrates MATLAB’s digital simulation results in an animation method
