This paper presents a continuum mechanics-based approach for real-time deployment (RTD) of a multi-quadcopter system between moving initial and final configurations arbitrarily distributed in a 3-D motion space. The proposed RTD problem is decomposed into spatial planning, temporal planning and acquisition sub-problems. For the spatial planning, the RTD desired coordination is defined by integrating (i) rigid-body rotation, (ii) one-dimensional homogeneous deformation, and (ii) one-dimensional heterogeneous coordination such that necessary conditions for inter-agent collision avoidance between every two quadcopter UAVs are satisfied. By the RTD temporal planning, this paper suffices the inter-agent collision avoidance between every two individual quadcopters, and assures the boundedness of the rotor angular speeds for every individual quadcopter. For the RTD acquisition, each quadcopter modeled by a nonlinear dynamics applies a nonlinear control to stably and safely track the desired RTD trajectory such that the angular speeds of each quadcopter remain bounded and do not exceed a certain upper limit.
