Those contracts, worth $363,505 with a $135,286 option, were announced in early March. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every six months, DARPA expects to solicit proposals from potential \u201csprinters\u201d ranging from academics to large corporations, which then will work to create and test unique swarm technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each swarm sprint will focus on one of five areas: swarm tactics, swarm autonomy, human-swarm teaming, virtual environment, and physical-bed. The first sprint in February focused on tactics that would allow a commander to use swarms to prepare an urban area of operations for further operations by small-unit forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike the extremely expensive drones currently found in most U.S. military ground units, like the AeroVironment Raven, swarms can consist entirely of inexpensive systems. A swarm can also lose many individual drones with little impact on its ability to accomplish its broader mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\"
