Implementation of Collective Target Enclosing Strategy with Multiple UAVs using Hardware In-Loop Simulator

Sangeeta Daingade

Abstract


A team of unmanned aerial vehicles oer many advantages as compared to a single vehicle for the missions such as surveillance, search and rescue, scientic data gathering, convoy protection etc. In such applications it is often required to monitor a target continuously from all the directions. The target centric cyclic pursuit (TCCP) strategy is one such which makes the vehicles move along a target centered circle with a uniform distribution. In this paper we discuss the implementation of TCCP with Hardware In- Loop Simulator to verify the theoretical results.
