This paper presents a novel guidance logic for multi-agent fixed-wing unmanned aerial systems using a moving mesh method. The moving mesh method is originally designed for use in the adaptive numerical solution of partial differential equations, where a high proportion of mesh points are placed in the regions of large solution variations and few points in the rest of the domain. In this work, the positions of the aircraft are considered as mesh nodes connected to form a triangular mesh in two spatial dimensions. The outer aircraft positions are planned with the reference point algorithm. This logic provides the outer …
