Kendali Formasi Multi-UAV menggunakan Line of Sight (LOS) Guidance Law

Abstract

Graphical abstract Abstract While one of UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) has reached its capability limit, multi-UAVs are required for assigned tasks to the UAV. So far, multi-UAVs are preferred in performing large tasks resulting in higher levels of effectiveness with better survival capability than single UAVs. The most important is how UAVs can coordinate and communicate with each other so UAV can fly with formation and stay on trajectory.To overcome the problem, this is require a method of formation control. In this research proposed Line of Sight (LOS) Guidance Law for the Multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). This method is applied to a UAV that is considered to be a leader and another UAV is considered a follower. An algorithm is installed to UAV followers so UAV is able to find leader's trajectory and follow it. The results obtained UAV follower can follow UAV leader with a certain distance and specific position of the UAV leader. The information needed is visual information which is the coordinates of the leader and his velocity. Control with the Line of Sight method can be applied to any path both simple like a straight line and random path with many angles. Of course with different difficulty levels
