Pagan, thanks for keeping me honest. I don't always "show my work" like my old math teachers demanded. Others have answered for me but I also have some to add.
I recently met the father of UAS pilot that flew the big AWACS style bird. That plane is used to coordinate the airspace for drone use in the military theater to avoid collisions, coordinate data collection, etc. Better swarming tech means better autonomy. Also the Argus is a perfect LTA replacement for this UAS coordination craft.
Someone also pointed out for me there is an army request for LMAMS. Attach a few to an Argus with the ability to launch from the Argus, use multiple sensors in the swarm to better verify targets, etc. One can go in for the kill with the others returning to the Argus if no target is acquired.
Particularly with Moore's law, I get excited about the law of unintended consequences. I think the use of swarm tech will be a huge jump/paradigm shift in UAS use.
