Abstract:

Aiming at the problem of unmannd aerial vehicle (UAV) cooperative detection of fast moving target, a multi-UAV cooperative detection control algorithm is designed. Firstly, assuming that each UAV carries the same detection load, and a cooperative detection formation for fast moving targets was designed according to the load characteristics. Then, fixed-time control consistency protocol is introduced into the UAV load angle control to control the load to irradiate the target continuously; finite-time consistency protocol is introduced into the UAV formation control to form the cooperative detection formation and speed up the convergence of the formation through two-hop network. Through the combination of UAV formation control and UAV load angle control, the detection time of fast moving target is maximized, and the detection time of high-speed moving target is greatly prolonged. Finally, the effectiveness of the control algorithm is proved by the mathematical analysis and the simulation experiment.

Key words: fixed-time consensus protocol, finite-time consensus protocol, cooperative detection, unmannd aerial vehicle (UAV) formation
