Implementation of control algorithm for three-dimensional pursuer convoy

In this paper, we consider the problem of modeling and controlling pursuer convoy in the three-dimensional space. The guidance laws applied for convoy are the velocity pursuit and the deviated pursuit, which steer the pursuer using the rate of line-of-sight (LOS) between successive pursuers. On the basis of the differential equations for the range, the pitch angle of LOS and the yaw angle of LOS between successive pursuers, the guidance laws mentioned above are applied to derive decentralized control laws for pursuer convoy. The results of simulation indicate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
