This paper addresses the fixed-time leader-follower consensus problem for high-order integrator multiagent systems subject to matched external disturbances. A new cascade control structure, based on a fixed-time distributed observer, is developed to achieve the fixed-time consensus tracking control. A simulation example is included to show the efficacy and the performance of the proposed control structure with respect to different initial conditions.
