Swarms of drones can help soldiers with tasks like scouting, post-battle assessment, and more.
In the desert of Utah’s Dugway Proving Ground, the Army trained for the future of war under the watchful eyes of a drone “wolfpack.” The Experimental Demonstration Gateway Exercise 22 ran from April 25 through May 13, and the task at its center was figuring out how soldiers will work and fight alongside a swarm.
The exercise featured four swarms of up to seven drones each. Being able to guide that many drones with a single human operator is a major step towards making drone swarms viable as a tool of war. Every soldier piloting a drone is a soldier less capable of immediately responding to threats nearby, and controlling drones as a swarm allows one swarm director to do the work that would have previously taken seven remote pilots.
At EDGE22, soldiers with the 82nd Airborne launched the swarms in four waves: first a scouting wave, then a second scouting wave designed to overwhelm enemy ability to track and detect, followed by a third wave with weapons , and a fourth wave that did post-battle assessment, a kind of scouting in reverse.
