control problem has been posted to us by the Australian Defense Science and Technology Group in their practical use of such UAVs. In this talk, we show how to design formation controllers to steer UAVs’ orientations while the aim is to achieve a desired formation configuration for the UAV group subject to constant-speed constraints. We consider several different formation design approaches in achieving a target formation shape with stable circular motions via limited interactions. In the last part of the talk, we also show experimental verifications involving a group of fixed-wing UAVs to validate the performance of the proposed circular formation controllers
