THE NEXT ERA OF DRONES WILL BE DEFINED BY ‘SWARMS’
[ …]
Drones are becoming smaller, cheaper to make, can zoom around on their own, and gather
in groups of hundreds, even thousands, to fly like a flock of birds.
They’re called swarms – get enough of them together, and they could save your life, or they
could be a deadly collaborative force on the battlefield.
[ …]
Plus there is no leader (1) or commander in a swarm; the swarm is a self-organising system
in which allows drones to fly together without colliding. And only one operator (2) is needed
to control the whole swarm.
Swarms are tough. One missile can bring down an aircraft, but a swarm can lose dozens of
members and keep going. Air defences with a limited (3) supply (4) of missiles can be
overwhelmed by enough opponents.
But drones will soon be swarming in many other situations too, from rock concerts to
barnyards. In fact, you probably already have seen swarms of drones in everyday life.
Chinese company eHang claimed the record for the biggest swarm, in a spectacular New
Year show in which 1,000 drones formed a map of China and the Chinese character for
'blessings' (5).
Drone swarms may even have a place on the farm. They can spot plant disease and help
manage water use, or spray pesticides and herbicides only in the exact spot needed, all
working cooperatively to cover the area and fill in gaps.
So, what does the future hold for swarming (6) drones? Swarming drone technology is still
very much in their infancy. But it’s evolving fast. In fact, they could one day live alongside us.
