Drone Light Show
Roadmap Overview
Autonomous drone swarms are a collection of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that collaborate to perform a task with minimal human intervention. These drones take some information from a ground control station to outline the task but mainly rely on their own autonomous decision making to perform that task and synchronize with other drones in the swarm. Swarms can range from a few to thousands of drones depending on the application and the maturity of the technology used in these drones. Drone swarms have a variety of applications from military to aerial light shows. The focus of this research will be the technological advancements that have enabled the development of drone swarms and a prediction of where this technology will go next.

Figures of Merit (FOM)
| FOM | Units | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Swarm Size | [number of drones] | The number of drones in the swarm dictate the size and complexity of the light display that can be created. Larger swarms also require more sophisticated control software. |
| Flight Time | [min] | The battery life of a drone determines how long an aerial show can last. |
| Cost | [US Dollars] | Cost over overall system including per unit drone cost. |
| Latency | [ms] | How quickly a drone can respond to commands from a control center or react to signals from other drones. Lower latency systems will be safer. |
