Description
Summary:This article proposes a three-dimensional dynamic control method based on the leader-follower framework for the collaborative control problem of smart ammunition formation (SAF). By establishing a dynamic model of SAF and combining it with a relative position error feedback mechanism, a multichannel collaborative controller was designed to achieve joint control of formation nodes in parameters such as ballistic inclination angle, declination angle, and velocity. In the simulation experiment, the control performance of a formation containing one leader and four followers was tested under static and dynamic scenarios. The results show that the controller can effectively maintain the expected relative distance between formation members, achieve stable convergence in the X, Y, and Z directions, and the response of the control variable tracking instruction is fast and robust. In addition, the study validated the advantages of the hierarchical leader–follower framework in reducing communication complexity and improving dynamic response speed. In the future, it is necessary to further explore the dynamic collaborative control mechanism between leaders and followers under spatiotemporal synchronization, in order to enhance the adaptability of formations in complex battlefield environments.
