Abstract This chapter investigates the close formation control problem of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). A robust cooperative control algorithm is proposed in light of the uncertainty and disturbance estimation technique. In the proposed design, each UAV is assigned a virtual leader which defines the desired position for the corresponding UAV in close formation. Bidirectional communication topology is assumed for UAVs in close formation, based on which a cooperative control law is established on each UAV. Model uncertainties and formation aerodynamic disturbances are efficiently estimated and compensated using an uncertainty and disturbance estimator. Eventually, the efficacy of the proposed design will be validated through the close formation simulation of five aircraft.
