The rapid development of technologies in the fields of computing, communication, control and sensors, supports researches about unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) related applications. Multiple UAV cooperation is usually an important approach to improve application performance. In order to make the operation of UAV swarm more convenient, we proposed a formal model for describing and executing unmanned swarm tasks. It can support various types of application scenarios (search, surveillance, deliver and so on), while supports multi-UA V collaboration and processing of dynamic events. Based on this model, a domain-specific language Group Mission Language(GML) was designed and implemented to support the formal description of swarm missions. And designed a Single Mission Language(SML) for the description of individual UAV mission. The SML file is automatically generated based on the GML file and deployed to a single UAV. Moreover, GML is implemented based on the XML language, with simple and clear syntax, which can be mastered in a short time even by people without programming experience. GML and SML implementation have been validated through simulation experiments with six different UAVs.
