An analytical expression is derived for the minimum distance at which the loiter lane must be placed from the main lane. A guidance law that commands the speeds of UAVs in the corridor collectively to insert a target UAV from the main lane to loiter lane is proposed. The efficacy of the developed guidance law is verified through simulations.
