A fleet arithmetic on overlay capacity of multi-aircraft cooperative detect base on transformed chameleon

Abstract: In allusion to the particularity of Multi-Fighter Cooperative Detection, this paper analyzes the influence of different formation modes of the aircraft.. The framework of basic formation modes is established, moreover, the solutions of these models are also introduced. There is some disadvantage of gridding-method on real-time performance. A transformed chameleon method is used to divide up the big formation and cluster it into the basic ones. The rules-less formations’ detect an overlay area and divided into basic ones, can be figured out on the ground of dividing results. In this way, we can reduce the fighter formations to calculate the overlay capacity fleetly. The simulation results indicate that the method meet the real-time needs with error permissibility.

Safety Control for UAV Formation Reconfiguration Based on Modified Differential Evolution

Abstract: Flight formation of multiple UAVs needs to be reconfigured when the environment changes or missions are modified. Based on the analysis of safety problem during reconfiguration,the process is transformed into a series of on-line optimizations using distributed model predictive control( DMPC). After the setup of cost function with safety restriction taken into consideration,a distributed model predictive control algorithm based on modified differential evolution( DE-DMPC) is put forward to deal with the optimization problems at each interval. Simulations show the effectiveness of the DE-DMPC algorithm for reconfiguration safety control. The algorithm is superior to the standard DE algorithm in terms of performance.
