Title: A NON-SEARCH OPTIMAL CONTROL SOLUTION FOR A TEAM OF MUAVS IN A RECONNAISSANCE MISSION
Authors: David W. Casbeer, Pengcheng Zhan, A. Lee Swindlehurst, Brigham Young University, United States
Abstract: We consider a team of miniature unmanned air vehicles (MUAVs) in a multi-static radar scenario. Time delay and Doppler measurements made at the UAVs are transmitted to a base station which is tracking a target. The base then transmits heading commands to the MUAVs to reduce the tracking error. Optimal solutions that attempt to minimize a function of the error covariance or maximize the observability of the system are omputationally difficult to implement. We present a simpler approximate method that yields a closed-form solution and performs comparably to the optimal approaches.
