Abstract
This paper presents a cooperative standoff tracking of a moving target using multiple unmanned aircraft. To provide guidance commands, vector fields are designed utilizing the Lyapunov stability theory. A roll angle command is generated to keep a constant distance from the target in a circular motion. A speed command and a heading angle command are designed to keep a constant phase angle with respect to the front aircraft and to prevent a collision between aircraft. Numerical simulation is performed to verify the tracking and collision performance of the proposed control laws.
