The rendezvous of UAVs as a first step in the formation of a UAV is crucial. In this paper, a maneuvering system based on virtual leader is proposed. Firstly, the relative kinematics model of the virtual leader and UAV is established, and then a proportional guidance law with falling angle constraint is designed to make the UAV. Finally, the desired attitude angle can be achieved, and the speed of the UAV can be controlled, so that the UAV can track the virtual leader at a set speed and maintain a relative distance, thereby achieving the purpose of formation flying. The simulation results show that this method can effectively guide the formation of UAVs and has certain engineering application value.
