CONTROL MODEL OF A GROUP OF MANEUVERABLE UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THEIR FLIGHT SAFETY

The article deals with the urgent scientific problem of creating an algorithmic support for an automated situational control system for group maneuverable unmanned aerial vehicles, taking into account the possibility of improving their flight safety. To realize this possibility, the authors proposed a non-linear flight model of group formation. This is the basis for the synthesis of nonlinear control laws for these aircraft. The difference of the proposed approach is taking into account the influence of changes in the speed and direction of wind flows on the laws governing the movement of aircraft in a group. Promising areas of research are considered, namely: the application of the results obtained to justify the requirements for the design characteristics of control systems and their algorithmic support in terms of not only improving their flight safety in group formations, but also ensuring the specified performance indicators for a wide range of possible flight tasks by a group of maneuverable aircraft
