In this paper, a distributed formation control strategy based on fixed-wing UAVs under collision avoidance and nonholonomic kinematic constraints is proposed. Firstly, considering that the fixed-wing UAVs cannot hover at fixed positions, the formation control problem is formulated as the optimization problem of assigning multiple desired trajectories to the same number of agents deployed in an open space. Secondly, a priority index for UAVs, Voronoi partition and artificial potential field are introduced, so that the UAVs can avoid collisions and ensure the safety of the agents. Finally, a distribution switching scheme is introduced to enable each UAV to update its own desired trajectory, and the whole team can asymptotically converge to the desired formation. The feasibility and stability of the proposed strategy are verified by theoretical analysis and numerical simulations with the real fixed-wing UAV model.
