Abstract:
This paper discusses control and communication topologies that asynchronously distribute the sensing, communication and computation tasks amongst the spacecraft in the formation. Our approach allows the dynamic reconfiguration of the measurement and communication topologies while maintaining the specified formation performance objectives. An illustrative simulation example is presented.
