AB  - Drones or Robots like unmanned vehicles are used in various fields, and interest in formation and swarm flight is increasing, especially in disaster safety and military fields where communication infrastructure is not installed or destroyed. It has the advantage of being able to search a wide area or complete missions in a shorter period of time through cooperation between unmanned vehicles with limited resources for missions such as life search or reconnaissance through formation and swarm flight.. Communication between unmanned vehicles is essential to achieve safe formation and swarm flights in areas where communication infrastructure is not installed or in disaster situations where communication infrastructure is destroyed.. In the paper, it was shown that formation flight is possible by using a BLE communication module that supports BLE ad-hoc network as communication network between leader and follower for formation flight.
