Abstract
A solution is proposed for the task of controlling a group of UAVs moving along a given route. The group
is considered as a limited-size formation consisting of n-agents moving relative to the leader, which allows
us to treat the group as some aggregate with the center of motion. The quantitative composition of
a group can change while maintaining the integrity of the group. The chapter proposes the use of smooth
laws governing the motion of a group. The safety of motion is ensured by introducing into the law of
control the components equivalent to the creation of attractive and repulsive fields.
