This furthers our discussion on swarm tech and specifically mentions heterogeneous teams of UA.

" Collaborative autonomy has the potential to significantly increase the capabilities of legacy assets as well as to reduce the cost of future systems by composing heterogeneous teams of UA that can leverage the capabilities of each asset without having to duplicate or integrate capabilities into a single platform.

In other words, DARPA wants to create UA squadrons comprised of drones with diverse, unique capabilities — rather than trying to cram all the equipment into individual drones. But that concept is only feasible to the extent that you can imbue drones with collaborative instincts. If DARPA accomplishes that, it says, then drone squadrons could provide "diverse observation angles to improve target identification," and protect one another when under attack."
