The UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) group cooperative formation flight technology has the advantages of wide coverage, large activity radius, strong overall search ability and high efficiency of the aircraft group. Therefore, it is suitable for various complex tasks in the military field such as battlefield environment reconnaissance, tactical attack and cooperative search. This paper proposes a consistency control strategy based on GA (Genetic Algorithm) and applies it to multi-UAV formation obstacle avoidance, which can effectively solve the collision between UAVs and between UAV formation and obstacles. Demodulate the received ground desired control command, and introduce an additional auxiliary traction acceleration through GA to avoid the local optimal solution. The auxiliary traction acceleration is related to the speed and relative position of UAV and obstacles. It can be used as a disturbance to solve the local optimal solution, and also as an auxiliary acceleration to improve the speed of avoiding moving obstacles. Finally, the rapid formation and obstacle avoidance of UAV fleet during flight are realized, and the survivability of the fleet in the battlefield environment is improved.
