Abstract

The use of digital pheromones for controlling and coordinating swarms of unmanned vehicles is studied under various conditions to determine their effectiveness in multiple military scenarios. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of these pheromone algorithms for surveillance, target acquisition, and tracking. The algorithms were demonstrated on hardware platforms and the results from the demonstration are reported
