Science & Tech Spotlight: Drone Swarm TechnologiesGAO-23-106930
Published: Sep 14, 2023. Publicly Released: Sep 14, 2023.
This Science & Tech Spotlight report explores drone swarm technologies, which use algorithms and local sensors to coordinate drones with minimal human intervention. Swarms could range from a few drones to possibly thousands. Advances in artificial intelligence and drone components have made swarms possible—even if they're limited to simpler missions like aerial light shows for now.
As the technology improves, it could be used to fight wildfires, detect crop disease, and more. However, it also raises concerns over safety, privacy, and cybersecurity. For example, a hacker could redirect a drone swarm for malicious purposes.

Resilient Fusion Navigation Techniques: Collaboration in Swarm by Rong Wang, Zhi Xiong, Jianye LiuThis book describes the resilient navigation techniques under the background of collaboration in swarm. The significance of this work is that it focuses on the navigation enhancement by collaboration in swarm rather than ground infrastructure, which exploit potentialities of swarm in GNSS restricted environment.
Although unmanned swarm is receiving greater attention, both through theoretical research and through increasing mention in the industrial developments, the navigation promotion by effective and efficient collaboration remains largely unexplored. While my scholarly work has explored some of the modeling, error characteristic, fusion algorithm, fault detection, and isolation aspects of the “adaptive navigation system” (such as the navigation system of robots and ground vehicles, aircrafts, aerospace vehicles, and unmanned aerial vehicles), the present book proposes the specialized investigation on the navigation with the resilient character, which could maintain the performance by essential collaboration with members in swarm in GNSS degradation environment.
This book focused on the resilient navigation techniques under the background of collaboration in swarm. The key techniques of collaborative resilient navigation are proposed, including the collaboration framework, collaborative observation modeling, geometry optimization, integrity augmentation, and fault detection. The experiments are also carried out to validate the effectiveness of the corresponding techniques.

UAV Swarm Networks: Models, Protocols, and Systems by Fei Hu (Editor); DongXiu Ou (Editor); Xin-Lin Huang (Editor)A UAV swarm network should consider the dynamic network topology and establish robust routing layer protocols. This requires that UAV network protocol be adaptive to swarm shape changes. This book covers all the important aspects in the management of UAV swarm networks. It provides comprehensive coverage of the advanced network models, 7-layer protocols and system integration for UAV swarm networks. It discusses popular applications of UAV networks; swarming behaviors, routing schemes during formation, transport layer congestion control, 3D routing, GPS-free protocols, swarm network management via SDN, etc. It is an ideal resource for students and professionals interested in UAV systems and networks.
