This chapter investigates how to control and coordinate teams of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to provide protection to convoys of ground vehicles. This is a rich yet canonical problem when coordinatingmultiple UAVs in that coordinated movements, task assignments, and resource balancing must all be performed for a successful completion of the mission. Time-optimal paths for providing convoy-protection to stationary ground vehicles are presented, and these algorithms are extended to moving ground vehicles. The assignment problems, associated with dispatching UAVs from the convoy to inspect and clear potential threats, are moreover discussed.
