The problem of UAVs’ formation control in the process of motion is investigated in this paper. A formation control method based on artificial potential field of UAVs is proposed, established on the collision avoidance, aggregation and speed matching rules of UAVs. First establish the UAVs’ kinetic model in accordance to the motion rules, then design the formation control algorithm based on artificial potential field function, which is used to control the formation during the movement of UAVs. Finally, the results of simulation experiment show that the proposed formation control method in this paper is effective and has the advantages of easy realization, good real-time performance and excellent robustness.
