Abstract
We propose control mechanism of UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) group for making the communication network to the base station after the target is found. We assume UAVs can communicate to each other by wireless LAN without existing communication infrastructure. UAVs started to fly in linear formation, after finding target, UAVs move to the base station to send the information about the target. At least one UAV stays the position that the target is found. This paper explains the mechanism supporting reliable connectivity during UAV group's flying. We verify the proposed scheme and evaluate the performance through NS-2 simulation. The proposed scheme can be applied to the disaster area and war zone, which the existing communication infrastructure cannot be worked.
