  • Abstract
    In this work, we propose a path planning method for a fleet of a fixed wing UAVs. This online 3D method is based on the artificial potential field (APF) to calculate the necessary controls for each agent in the formation. To do that, we propose a model of potential field that takes into account the formation of the fleet of UAVs. We propose, also, a geometric model of the formation. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the approach in the case of a fleet of a fixed wing UAVs moving in an obstructed environment.
