Abstract
To control a mobile node group that performs a formation flight, mobile nodes constituting the mobile node group and a ground station that wirelessly communicates with each of the mobile nodes are included. The mobile nodes are classified into a follower mobile node and a leader mobile node that collects information on the follower mobile node and controls the follower mobile node. The mobile nodes wirelessly communicate with one another based on beamforming or MIMO. Based on an installed on-board processor, the leader mobile node controls the follower mobile node, and the mobile node controls a position or an attitude of the mobile node itself for performing the formation flight. The ground station performs link control of the wireless communication with the mobile node or link control of the wireless communication between the mobile nodes, and control of selecting any ground station that wirelessly communicates with the mobile node.
