Research on UAV Formation Control under Deception Attacks

With the rapid development of UAV technology and the continuous expansion of application scenarios, UAV formation control has become an important research direction in multi-agent systems. However, in complex network environments, deception attacks pose a serious threat to the security and stability of UAV formations. This paper systematically reviews the current research status of UAV formation control under deception attacks, providing an in-depth analysis from multiple dimensions, including research background, technical challenges, control methods, and security defenses. First, the development history and key technologies of UAV formation control are introduced. Then, the characteristics of deception attacks and their impact on formation control are analyzed in detail. Finally, the challenges faced by current research and future development directions are summarized.
