UK Military to have Drone Swarms available by next year

Marc Mann • Nov 24, 2020

The UK Military could have 'Drone Swarms' available by the middle of next year according to Drone Manufacturer Blue Bear.


The MoD has invested a significant sum into the company for this particular project which allows a number of network enabled drones to carry out co-ordinated suicide missions inside enemy lines and wreak havoc with enemy air defences.


The joint project, which has been delayed due to the recent pandemic, has reportedly recommenced at RAF Waddington where a task was originally set back in 2019 by Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson to test the future of Drone Swarm capabilities.


The concept of Drone Swarms has been seen more and more recently in the news but in those cases in the benign setting of synchronised public displays in China and Japan.


It is only a matter of time until the future of warfare will include the use of potentially thousands of Drone Swarms to overwhelm air defences, mass aerial surveillance and remote aerial cyber attacks.
