In the Department of Defense the display reinvigorated interest in counter-swarm tactics research, for drones and swarming tactics can have applications in all warfighting domains.

It enables Kaminer's group to establish a multi-university, multi-year effort to develop an operational planning simulation for defense against an attacking drone swarm.

Several countries have already developed the technology to attack through drone swarms that can be shot out of ground-based or underwater launching systems into the air.

NPS' own Advanced Robotic Systems Engineering Laboratory has conducted a great deal of drone research and experimentation, including setting a record years ago for launching and flying 50 UAVs simultaneously.

Walton, who spent the last five years researching in CAVR, is now setting up an additional lab for the team to use at UTSA, which will provide a testbed for swarm experiments of hundreds of robots.
