Operational Safety Analysis and Controller Design of a Dual Drones System

This paper describes the operational system analysis and controller design of a dual drone system. The system is considered as a cascade connection of uncertain nonlinear system. The analysis is conducted to ensure increased operational safety as it is important for successful flight missions. The paper also addresses the problems, when drones are used in practice, in particular in the area of search and rescue, military and scientific studies. A robust control approach is considered for the control law development. The controller is designed to ensure the stabilization of the drone system in order to successfully fulfill missions.
