AMSTERDAM. Swarm technology – groups of uncrewed aerial systems (UASs) leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) that employ algorithms to augment the overall functioning of the system or group in real time– is increasingly finding uses in military applications, according to a study by Market Forecast, “Swarm Technology – Market and Technology Forecast to 2030.”

Market Forecast study authors predict that the global swarm technology market will grow to $ 1.65 billion by 2030.

Swarm technology used in defense is different from a solitary UAS because in a swarm, the group of individual drones engages in missions based on various data points that no solitary device could have offered; in this way, say the study authors, a swarm of UASs can engage in surprisingly complicated behaviors that continue beyond even what a single AI could achieve.
