The traditional leader/wingman formation control problem is considered, with focused attention on dealing with the input disturbance and parametric variations, both of which are intrinsic properties of the system that result in undesired control performance. A proportional-derivative control scheme based on nonlinear dynamic inversion is implemented as the baseline controller, and an L_1 adaptive controller is augmented to the baseline controller to attenuate the effects of input disturbance and parametric variations. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.展开更多
