This paper presents a three-dimensional (3D) piecewise guidance scheme for multiple UAVs) guaranteeing simultaneous arrival even under the field-of-view (FOV) constraint. The guidance law does not require to consider the estimation of the time-to-go and can be divided into two stages: cooperative stage and proportional navigation guidance (PNG) stage. In the cooperative stage, a decentralized consensus control approach is proposed for multi-UAV systems and does not rely on global information about the communication topography. Moreover, the neighbors’ new auxiliary states are introduced to ensure the states achieving consensus under FOV constrain. The guidance strategy transfers to the PNG stage while the UAV formation is close enough to the target and the simultaneous arrival to hit the target is guaranteed for UAVs via the PNG guidance law. Numerical simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed cooperative guidance law.
