It is a key problem to schedule the multiple unmanned ground vehicles and to achieve reliable target handover in an area needs to be continuously monitored. This research is concerned with the coordinated relay tracking of a moving target. Two relay tracking strategies are proposed. We first present the definition of the relay tracking. Then a relay tracking scheme based on UGV coverage is proposed. In a scenario where the defense area cannot be covered by its UGV, a relay tracking strategy based on UGV motion is proposed. Simulations are carried out to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach.
