Abstract :
Distributed control of a group of uninhabited combat air vehicles (UCAVs) is a challenging problem in the area of large-scale systems. We propose a hierarchical control architecture for coordinated control of UCAVs. Several open problems in the areas of modeling, analysis, and control are also identified
