Cooperative UAV formation control simulated in X-plane

This paper presents the steps that must be taken to develop a Simulator type software using VR technology and the presentation of our own software system for the training aviation personnel. We present the state of the art of VR and describe the developed application through the chosen solution, meeting all the criteria of a learning and testing environment for the aviation personnel, simulating the targeting operations of a helicopter and adjacent elements. In fact, we make a description of both the data structure and the technical design. Logical design and system architecture, use cases and conceptual classes are also presented. The technical part describes in detail the implementation stages of the application.

Formation reconfiguration is one of the most important tactics used in the field of cooperative Unmanned Air Vehicles. In this paper, formation reconfiguration for a team of vertical takeoff and landing quadrotors is managed by a classical approach of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. PID controller is designed to regulate the attitude and the altitude for every quadrotor of a cooperative team respecting the separating span and velocity constraints. PID controller results are compared with a backstepping controller developed for the same system. The mathematical model of the propositioned system is derived initially, and then a PID controller using simplex and genetic algorithms is designed qualifying the cooperative quadrotors to track the desired trajectories. Simulation results present the assessment of PID control strategy along with backstepping control strategy in different scenarios including proposal flight mission in obstacle-free surroundings, and obstacle-laden surroundings. Noise attenuation and disturbance rejection are examined for both controllers to check the robustness of the system.
