- ORIGINALITY: The paper describes a novel method to accelerate physical convergence of self-organising, multi-UAV formations while containing communications leakage. It presents the first approach to combine cooperative control and secure communication in 3-dimensional drone groupings. SIGNIFICANCE: The paper reports key results from a multi-partner project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation, China (61701322). Published in a premier networking outlet and well-cited, the proposed method has been commercially deployed by the Shenyang Aerospace University. RIGOUR: The technique is analysed theoretically and detailed large-scale simulation experiments have been performed on cooperating UAVs.
