There has been a growing interest toward the development of networked unmanned autonomous systems that can operate without an extensive involvement of humans. The motivation for this focus can be traced to the emergence of applications where direct human intervention is not possible due to the environmental hazards, complexity of the tasks, or other restrictions. These networks can consist of a large number of dynamical systems (agents), such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), and unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs). These systems commonly include a number of sensors, actuators, and decisionmakers. Therefore, the network of these systems is a network of a large number of sensors and actuators or, as is known in the literature, a system of systems (SoS). In this work, we provide a brief overview of controlling these networks, their applications, and the solutions that are proposed for these problems in the literature. Specifically, this article overviews recent results and progress made on multiagent consensus by focusing on cooperative control and consensus (formation) control in the presence of communication, control implementation, and saturation constraints. In addition, we review the active areas of event‐triggered consensus control, network security and attacks on the agents, and networks and resilient consensus control strategies that are proposed to handle these challenges.
