Abstract

In this paper, system framework for UAV formation collision avoidance is proposed. Key modules of the framework are identified including collaborative sensing, threat assessment, formation reorganization, path planning and maneuver control. Their corresponding mathematical models are also established for performance optimization. The formation collision avoidance is finally formulated as a combined optimization problem by considering the accuracy, safety and efficiency requirements. A simulator is introduced for testing the performance of formation collision avoidance algorithms with selectable UAV platforms and sensor configurations. Some initial outdoor experiments are illustrated for system validation.
