Provided is a multi-AUV distributed cooperative tracking control method based on an uncertain ocean current disturbance. The method includes: establishing an AUV kinematic model and a kinematic modelwith the uncertain ocean current disturbance, and initializing a system state, a sampling time and a control parameter; designing a path tracking controller of a leader AUV based on a Serret-Frenet method; proposing a distributed formation kinematic controller of a follower AUV to enable the follower AUV to more adapt to an underwater communication environment; conducting an input-state stabilityanalysis on the kinematic controllers designed for the leader and the follower, and forming distributed motion formation control of the multi-AUV system; and proposing a multi-AUV system kinematic controller containing an uncertain ocean current disturbance compensation item. According to the cooperative tracking control method based on a multi-AUV distributed formation control platform, the information amount of the controllers can be effectively reduced, the influence brought by the uncertain ocean current disturbance is avoided by employing a neural network, and a key base is laid for earlywarning and forecast of ocean disasters and guarantee of an ocean environment.
