UAVs are expected to play a key role in the future, providing support to various services to the population. Already today, their use helps to solve a huge range of scientific and applied problems related to ecology, meteorology, geology, zoology, agriculture, climate study, mineral exploration and more. Increasing the number of civilian, military and sports UAVs significantly complicates the problem of flight safety in a single airspace. The factors that have the strongest impact on the safety and effectiveness of UAVs include: destruction in contact with the ground; harm to life and health of people or their property on the ground; collisions in the air with other aircrafts. That is why the study of group flight parameters, especially in automatic and semi-automatic mode is an actual task. The problem of group flight automation based on the use of the popular Tello EDU UAV training model is solved in the work. The architecture, algorithm and model of information exchange in flight control are formed. UAV flight testing was performed and additional recommendations for further organization of experiments in the group were developed.
