This paper presents an adaptive guidance and control law algorithm for implementation on a pair of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in a 6 DOF leader-follower formation flight simulation. The objective of the simulation ...

This paper implements several methods for performing vision-based formation flight control of multiple aircraft in the presence of obstacles. No information is communicated between aircraft, and only passive 2-D ...

This paper discusses estimation and guidance strategies for vision-based target tracking. Specific applications include formation control of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and air-to-air refueling. We assume that ...

This paper presents an integrated guidance and control design for formation flight using a combination of adaptive output feedback and backstepping techniques. We formulate the problem as an adaptive output feedback ...

This paper presents a method to integrate adaptive estimation and adaptive control designs for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems having both parametric uncertainties and unmodeled dynamics. The method is based on ...

This paper presents an integrated guidance and control design for formation flight using a combination of adaptive output feedback and backstepping techniques without an underlying time-scale separation assumption. We ...

We present an approach for augmenting a linear, time-varying Kalman filter with an adaptive neural network (NN) for the state estimation of systems with linear process models acted upon by unknown inputs. The application ...

This paper presents an approach to vision-based target tracking with a neural network (NN) augmented Kalman filter as the adaptive target state estimator. The vision sensor onboard the follower (tracker) aircraft is a ...

In considering the problem of formation control in the deployment of intelligent munitions, it would be highly desirable, both from a mission and a cost perspective, to limit the information that is transmitted between ...
