Abstract: In recent years,with the development of electronic and communication technologies,UAVs tend to be miniaturized,large-scale Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)formations represented by UAV swarms have attracted the attention of industry and academia.Considering the increasingly complex tasks and application environment,autonomous UAV formations are become an important development direction.In order to realize the autonomous control of the formation,the Flying UAV Ad hoc Networks (FANETs) which can provide efficient and flexible communication among the UAVs becomes critical.However,large-scale brings a series of challenges to resource allocation,channel access and network routing of FANETs,and the layered architecture can effectively deal with these challenges.Firstly,this paper introduced the research status of two kinds of common layered architectures including clustering and alliance,analyzed the application environments for both architectures.And then this paper made a comparative study of the two kinds of architectures.Finally,the potential research directions in the future was discussed in details.

Key words: Alliance, Autonomy, Cluster, UAV layered architecture
