Abstract[English]
A method and a system for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm control is provided. The system includes a plurality of UAVs including a leader UAV and a plurality of follower UAVs communicably coupled with the leader UAV. The system further includes a Ground Control Station (GCS). The GCS determines a geo-location of the leader UAV and determines formation information based on the geo-location. The formation information indicates a relative position for each follower UAV with respect to the leader UAV. The GCS further transmits the formation information directly to each of the leader UAV and the plurality of follower UAVs. Each follower UAV receives the formation information and adjusts a position based on the formation information.[French]
L'invention concerne un procédé et un système de commande d'essaim de véhicules aérien sans pilote (UAV). Le système comprend une pluralité d'UAV comprenant un UAV de tête et une pluralité d'UAV suiveurs couplés de façon à communiquer avec l'UAV de tête. Le système comprend en outre une station de contrôle au sol (GCS). La GCS détermine une géolocalisation de l'UAV de tête et détermine des informations de formation en fonction de la géolocalisation. Les informations de formation indiquent une position relative pour chaque UAV suiveur par rapport à l'UAV de tête. La GCS transmet en outre les informations de formation directement à chaque UAV parmi l'UAV de tête et la pluralité d'UAV suiveurs. Chaque UAV suiveur reçoit les informations de formation et règle une position en fonction des informations de formation.
