Online joint control approach to formation flying simulation

Behavior control research is of great significance in the field of simulation. In particular, in the field of two-fighter formation flying, perfect behavior control not only can produce more graceful formation but also can benefit the strategic offensive and strategic defensive. In this article, we present a joint control approach, an online programming control and data control method that can provide better performance of behavior control than the conventional methods. The programming method controls the controlled plant by designing a group of control laws, and the data method controls the controlled plant by dynamically reading and executing the data files. We use formation flying of a lead plane and a wing plane as an example to investigate the joint control approach.
