DARPA aims for simple way to control swarm of attack drones
‘The US military’s research agency has announced a program to devise elaborate technology which could allow easy control over a swarm of attack drones, which should help urban warfighters to achieve supremacy on future battlefields.
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) aims to devise “an advanced human-swarm interface to enable users to monitor and direct potentially hundreds of unmanned platforms simultaneously in real time,” which is believed to be a key to supremacy at an urban battlefield, according to a statement US’s military tech designing agency published on Wednesday.
Swarms of unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) can be controlled through computer programs, such as the Low-Cost UAV Swarming Technology (LOCUST) or Micro-Autonomous Systems Technology (MAST), but they do not provide an easy way of communication with drones for soldiers on a battlefield.’
