Abstract:

The aircraft swarm represents a significant novel force in modern military confrontations and social activities However,the flight safety of aircraft swarm is challenged by complicated airspace circumstances,dynamic flight conflicts and constrained information acquisition.Safety control is essential to guarantee the effective collaboration of aircraft swarm.The key issues of safety control are summarized from the two perspectives of space-time and information according to the characteristics of aircraft swarm and mission scenarios.A research framework of aircraft swarm safety control is proposed based on the observation-orientation-decision-action (OODA) loop.The related concepts,model description and effectiveness evaluation of swarm safety are discussed from the unstructured flight environment,motion behavior,restricted interaction and uncertain state estimation,and the safety control scheme and crucial technologies of aircraft swarm are elaborated.The future intelligent development of aircraft swarm safety control is discussed to provide the reference and inspiration for building a more perfect safety control technology system.

Key words: aircraft swarm, safety control, swarm control, cooperative trajectory planning, ad-hoc network
