This paper investigates a robust linear quadratic mean field team control problem. The model involves a global uncertainty drift which is common for a large number of weakly-coupled interactive agents. All agents treat the uncertainty as an adversarial agent to obtain a "worst case'' disturbance. The direct approach is applied to solve the robust social control problem, where the state weight is allowed to be indefinite. Using variational analysis, we first obtain a set of forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) and the centralized controls which contain the population state average. Then the decentralized feedback-type controls are designed by mean field heuristics. Finally, the relevant asymptotically social optimality is further proved under proper conditions.
