    Abstract

    This paper addresses the problem of leader-following consensus of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with velocity and heading rate constraints described by bounded velocity with positive-minimum value and saturated heading rate. Each UAV is assumed to have its local coordinate frame and the information exchange among UAVs is modeled by a directed graph. A distributed dynamic control law is proposed for each follower UAV by using the information via local sensing and communication from its neighbors. It is shown that with the proposed control law, all follower UAVs can converge to the leader's motion, while the velocity and heading rate constraints can always be satisfied. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control law is illustrated by simulation results of an example.
