The paper introduces a method for deploying a multi-agent system of UAVs as a shield to protect infrastructures. The algorithm designs the desired formation by ensuring agents are uniformly distributed over a virtual surface and connected in a Delaunay triangulation. A control law based on potential functions is proposed to acquire the desired shield shape and maintain stability. The approach is validated through simulation and experimental results with micro-aerial vehicles.
