Abstract
A non-iterative nonlinear model predictive controller (NMPC) for formation control of helicopters is proposed and validated through simulations. The method is based on minimizing the error of geometrical formation parameters specifically designed for helicopters. These parameters are used to form desired three-dimensional (3D) configurations among members of a helicopter group. This approach is tested for both initializing and maintaining the desired formation. Also, simulation has been conducted considering the presence of environmental disturbances and model uncertainties. Compared to the similar approaches, the method has a substantially smaller computational cost. In addition, it is shown that unlike the conventional NMPC optimization methods, the presented framework does not require any iteration. This method inherently possesses the same computational cost for all the time steps throughout the whole time period of the flight scenario. These features make this framework a suitable choice for implementation for formation control of helicopter groups.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
