Abstract Control of a platoon of vehicles subject to jamming attacks is addressed in this paper. Because of jamming attacks, some communicated information and radio data are assumed to be lost or delayed in a stochastic manner. By considering the constant time-gap spacing policy, we propose a control strategy which under certain conditions guarantees the almost sure regulation of the vehicles in desired relative distances. Accordingly, depending on the control gains, the robustness of the platoon against a wide range of jamming attacks is guaranteed. The main contribution of the paper is that the proposed control scheme is robust against jamming attacks on both the communication network and vehicles radars. Simulation results illustrate the performance of the proposed control strategy.
