Abstract

The concept of operations for a micro-UAV system is adopted from nature from the appearance of flocking birds, movement of a school of fish, and swarming bees among others. This "emergent behavior" is the aggregate result of many simple interactions occurring within the flock, school, or swarm. Exploration of this emergent behavior in a swarm is accomplished through a high performance computing parallel discrete event simulation. After design of the system, several experiments are designed, tested, and analyzed for efficiency and effectiveness.
