Aiming at the cooperative localization problem for the dynamic UAV swarm in an anchor-limited environment, an adaptive Wasserstein filter (AWF) with distance-constrained bare bones self-recovery particles (CBBP) is proposed.Firstly, to suppress the cumulative error from the inertial navigation system (INS), a position-prediction strategy based on t
