 This groups aim is to set standards in communication and automation of a network of UAV. Allowing a set of UAV's to accomplish set tasks or goals while removing all requirement for maintenance. The SWARM will look after itself, maintain itsef and keep itself flying continuously.
-We have based the behavior of the UAV's on a bee hive. This attempts to mimic the behavior and basic intelligence of bee's in simple programing mimicry. (ie we are breaking down the basic patterns of behaviors of bees and applying them programmatic to the behavior of the UAV's. We are also copying the hierarchy of the hive.) The purposes of this segregation is to compartmentalize roles of the UAV's. It is all well and good to say all units should be capable of every task, however with multiple capabilities comes multiple sensors.hardware requirements which quickly increase weight and therefore power requirements to allow a UAV to fly. This increases cost and also increases the ultimate size of this units. It also breaks a lot of rules of evolution, which we wanted to keep.
+The project will be conducted in two phases:
+Phase 1: develop swarm comms and functionality with ground-based vehicle swarm
+Phase 2: develop shared power logistics with airborne drones
 Basically the basis for skynet to take over the world.
