초록

본 논문에서는 다수 고정익 소형무인기 군집비행을 위한 분산형 유도 알고리듬 설계를 다룬다. 군집비행을 통한 임무 수행을 위해서 각 무인기들은 집결, 선회, 경로점, 개별 비행 등의 기동이 필요하다. 이를 위해서는 경로 추종, 떼비행, 충돌 회피가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 상기 기동들을 수행하기 위해 벡터필드(경로 추종), 증강 쿠커-스메일 모델(떼비행), 포텐셜 필드(충돌 회피) 기법들을 활용한 통합 유도 알고리듬을 제안한다. 통합 유도 명령 생성을 위해 각 기법에서 생성된 유도 명령을 가중치에 따라 혼합할 수 있게 설계하며, 19대의 소형 고정익 무인기를 이용한 비행시험을 통해 제안한 군집 유도 알고리듬의 성능을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a decentralized guidance algorithm for swarm flight of fixed-wing UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). Considering swarm flight missions, we assume four representative swarm tasks: gathering, loitering, waypoint/path following, and individual task. Those tasks require several distinct maneuvers such as path following, flocking, and collision avoidance. In order to deal with the required maneuvers, this paper proposes an integrated guidance algorithm based on vector field, augmented Cucker-Smale model, and potential field methods. Integrated guidance command is synthesized with heuristic weights designed for each guidance method. The proposed algorithm is verified through flight tests using up to 19 small fixed-wing UAVs.
