Fault-Tolerant Control in Leader-Follower Distributed Formation Flight System

In this paper, fault-tolerant control (FTC) strategies in the case of distributed leader-follower formation flight are proposed. Such formation structure is poorly robust to the leader's failure, so, this paper takes into account such a case. Accordingly, two FTC methods are proposed. The first one is the "leaders’ redundancy", which considers the use of multiple leaders to avoid one agent’s depen...
