This paper proposes a hybrid intelligent agent controller (HIAC) for manned aerial vehicles (MAV)/unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) formation under the leader–follower control strategy. Based on the high-fidelity three-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) dynamic model of UAV, this method decoupled multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems into multiple single-input-single-output (SISO) systems. Then, it innovatively combined the deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) and the double deep Q network (DDQN) to construct a hybrid reinforcement learning-agent model, which was used to generate onboard desired state commands. Finally, we adopted the dynamic inversion control law and the first-order lag filter to improve the actual flight-control process. Under the working conditions of a continuous S-shaped large overload maneuver for the MAV, the simulations verified that the UAV can achieve accurate tracking for the complex trajectory of the MAV. Compared with the traditional linear quadratic regulator (LQR) and DDPG, the HIAC has better control efficiency and precision.
