A method (100) for managing a group of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) operable to fly in a formation is disclosed, each UAV being programmed with a task to be performed by the UAV. The method is performed in a controller UAV of the group and comprises receiving UAV status information from UAVs in the group (110), obtaining information on a current formation of the group (120) and combining the received UAV status information with the information on current group formation to form a representation of a first state of the group (130). The method further comprises using a machine learning model to predict, on the basis of the first state of the group, an optimal formation transition to a new formation (140) and to instruct the UAVs in the group to perform the predicted optimal formation transition (150). An optimal formation transition is a transition to a formation that will minimise predicted total energy consumption for all UAVs in the group to complete their tasks.
