Swarms of tiny aircraft could track hurricanes
Swarms of miniature airplanes that could someday track hurricanes, helping researchers make better predictions about the storms’ course and strength, are being tested in the US.
Researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder have developed small uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAV) that link up to form an airborne network, allowing the planes to coordinate their behaviour independently of a central control. And they are working on networking autonomous subs the same way.
