Abstract:Via injecting the false deviation information into the formation control protocol, a false deviation deception method was proposed against the distributed UAV swarms with switching topologies. By implementing the deception, the UAV swarm was expelled from the original movement trajectory while maintaining the formation structure and the convergence. Firstly, a false deviation deception protocol was proposed using switching topologies where the constructed false deviation signal was introduced into the formation control protocol. Then, the sufficient conditions of the false deviation deception against the distributed UAV swarms were delivered by deriving the deception feasibility constraint. Furthermore, the explicit expression of the deception reference function was determined to describe the movement trajectory of the deceived UAV swarm. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method was simulated and verified in case studies.
