Aiming at the control of multi-USV formation, a distributed coordination strategy was proposed based on Multi-Agent System (MAS) with the implementation algorithm.The distributed formation coordination was realized by using the interaction between the Agents carried by the USVs.At the same time, a controller for “meta-formation” was designed based on the leader-follower method.After that, the correctness and stability of the strategy and the algorithm were verified by simulation experiments and analysis.Finally, the USVs of “Jellyfish” and “Skate” were used to test the distributed coordination control method, and the test results verified the effectiveness of the method in practical engineering applications.
