The objective of this proposal is to build up a state-of-the-art cooperative and fault-tolerant control system testing platform with a set of three fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and a set of three unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) to support Applicant's current discovery project "Development and validation of fault-tolerant and cooperative guidance, navigation and control techniques with unmanned systems". Since the safety and cost issues associated with manned aerial vehicles such as Airbus 380, Boeing 747, UAVs become a practical and affordable test-bed for developing and evaluating advanced fault-tolerant control laws. UAVs also open the door for more practical applications to forest fires, pipelines, lakes and natural resources survellience etc using multiple low-cost UAVs/UGVs. Therefore, such a testing platform has mutiple functions and important role towards achieving and extending the goals of the Applicant's current discovery project.

本提案的目的是建立一个最先进的合作和容错控制系统的测试平台，一套三个固定翼无人机（UAV）和一套三个无人地面车辆（UGV），以支持申请人的当前发现项目“容错和合作的指导，导航和控制技术与无人系统的开发和验证”。由于空中客车380、波音747等载人飞行器的安全性和成本问题，无人机成为开发和评估先进容错控制律的实用且经济的试验平台。无人机还为使用多个低成本无人机/UGV进行森林火灾、管道、湖泊和自然资源监视等更实际的应用打开了大门。因此，这样的测试平台对于实现和扩展申请人的当前发现项目的目标具有多种功能和重要作用。
