Fully Distributed Time-Varying Formation Control for Multiple Uncertain Missiles
Deyuan Liu, Hao Liu, Kimon P. Valavanis
Abstract
The article addresses the fully distributed time-varying formation control problem for multiple missiles involving uncertainties. An adaptive control protocol is developed for the missiles, which includes uncertainties in the flight dynamics, while the adaptive control protocol does not require global information of the network missile system. Global formation flight stability is proven via the Lyapunov theory. Simulation tests are performed to validate the effectiveness of the developed protocol as applied to the network system.
