Abstract：This paper presents a cooperative turning control method inspired by jackdaw flock information to achieve rapid adjustment of unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)swarm in dynamic and uncertain environments.The models of the individual interaction and information propagation are established by analyzing the interactive behaviors and information propagation process of jackdaw flock.The relationship between the information exchange and swarm motion is also eluci-dated.The swarm dynamics model based on the social force framework is proposed and mapped to the coordinated turning control of the UAVs driven by turning information.Simulation results indicate that under the influence of individual inter-action,information propagation,and swarm dynamics,the turning information triggered by some UAVs rapidly propagates,and enable the swarm to form a consistent response and thus achieve rapid turning maneuvers.
