The increased use of commercial Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) has generated a great interest in their potential to be used for transporting loads and other equipment. However, as the attraction of a UAV is its versatility and cost effectiveness, constraints are placed on the size and capability of a single UAV. Therefore, using multiple UAVs in flight formation has become an elegant solution to these limitations. The formation control of a team of load bearing UAVs is far from trivial. The UAV itself is an underactuated nonlinear system posing significant control challenges. Recent research on this topic has shown promising results and interesting modelling methods such as the Udwadia-Kalaba method has been proposed, to model the loaded system. This research will explore this problem using this method while seeking to bring in robust control techniques for low-level UAV stabilization by designing a sliding mode control system. The proposed low level controller will be combined with the formation controller and the stability demonstrated through simulations.
