Here, the issue of distributed adaptive event‐triggered fault‐tolerant cooperative control (FTCC) is studied for multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) in the presence of actuator faults under denial‐of‐service attacks. To save the limited communication network resources, the distributed adaptive event‐triggered FTCC scheme is investigated for the multiple UAVs and UGVs which does not require continuous information relating to its neighbours. It is proven that the tracking errors are uniformly ultimately bounded by utilizing the Lyapunov function approach. Furthermore, the Zeno behaviour is excluded with the proposed scheme. Finally, simulation studies are provided to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed scheme. The issue of distributed adaptive event‐triggered fault‐tolerant cooperative control (FTCC) is studied for multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) in the presence of actuator faults under denial‐of‐service attacks. In order to save the limited communication network resources, the distributed adaptive event‐triggered FTCC scheme is investigated for the multiple UAVs and UGVs which does not require continuous information relating to its neighbours. Based on the proposed scheme, all follower UAVs and UGVs can track the leader and the tracking errors of the followers are uniformly ultimately bounded.
