【 摘 要 】

This paper presents a secure formation control design of multi-agent systems under denial of service (DoS) attacks. Multiple unmanned aerial vehicle systems (UAVs) are considered in this paper. The proposed technique takes into account communication time delay, as well as formation and cyberattack, and provides a robust guidance method as well as a reliable middleware for information transfer and sharing. To ensure optimal guidance and coordination, a combined approach of L1 adaptive control and graph theory is used. The packet transmission between all UAVs is handled by the data distribution services (DDS) middleware, which overcomes the interoperability problem when dealing with multiple UAVs of different platforms and can be considered as an extra security level based on its quality of service (QoS). The graph theory is utilized to coordinate multiple UAVs in a hexagon formation, while the L1 controller is utilized as a local controller to stabilize the UAV’s dynamic model. A robust control security level is built to handle the effect of cyberattacks based on linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) control. Simulations are used to verify and show the performances of the proposed technique under the conditions indicated earlier.
