| Summary: | This paper addresses the problem of target tracking and circumnavigation control for a bearing-only multi-Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) system. First, using the bearing measurements, an adaptive algorithm in the form of a Proportional Integral (PI) controller is developed to estimate the target state. Subsequently, a distributed circumnavigation control protocol is established to evenly encircle the target. Then, we use the local information from each UAV in the network to calculate the relative position of the target, and further enhance the accuracy of estimation and circumnavigation algorithms by employing a Kalman filter. Finally, numerical simulation experiments are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed tracking control algorithm. |
