Aiming at the problem of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) rendezvous path planning in the process of autonomous aerial refueling (AAR), a multi-UAV rendezvous path planning framework is proposed in this paper. First, an integrated guidance vector field (IGVF) is proposed, which can guide the UAV to fly from anywhere to the expected track. Then, a formation controller based on leader-follower structure is designed, under the force of the formation controller, multi-UAV can rendezvous to the expected track in the form of formation. Finally, a series of simulations are implemented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed framework.
