An Optimal Algorithm for Changing from Latitudinal to Longitudinal Formation of Autonomous Aircraft Squadrons

arXivJuly 23, 20261 min read

arXiv:1712.00513v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This work presents an algorithm for changing from latitudinal to longitudinal formation of autonomous aircraft squadrons. The maneuvers are defined dynamically by using a predefined set of 3D basic maneuvers. This formation change is necessary when the squadron has to perform tasks which demand both formations, such as lift off, georeferencing, obstacle avoidance and landing. Simulations show that the formation change is done without collision. The time complexity analysis of the transformation algorithm reveals that its efficiency is optimal, and the proof of correctness ensures its longitudinal formation features.
