The system, based on Supercam drones, can now automatically share targeting data, allowing a single operator to control up to 10 drones at once.
The first drone to detect a target transmits the information to the others in the group, which then strike simultaneously.

An onboard neural network can also assign tasks without the operator - automatically determining the order of attack and which drone will perform battle damage assessment, say the developers.
The drone swarm technology could be used to overwhelm even the most advanced enemy air defenses and deliver concentrated strikes on high-value targets.
