"During the test, three F/A-18 Super Hornets spit out more than
100 tiny Perdix drones, which then linked up with each
other to collectively make decisions and fly in formation.
'Due to the complex nature of combat, Perdix are not
pre-programmed synchronized individuals, they are a collective
organism, sharing one distributed brain for decision-making and
adapting to each other like swarms in nature,' SCO Director
William Roper said in a statement.
'Because every Perdix communicates and collaborates with every
other Perdix, the swarm has no leader and can gracefully adapt to
drones entering or exiting the team.'”
Swarms can make grids that act as barriers too. This is a wide open field for testing.
