  1. Swarm! An Investigation into Drone Swarming tactics and Group Key Encryption Theora Rice

  2. Outline • Inspiration • History • Drone Theory • Uses • Problems • Current State • Interesting Observations

  3. Inspiration • Social insects • Flexible • Robust • Decentralized • Self-organized

  4. History in the U.S.A. • Military Swarming - 1990s • Common tactic in non-linear, dispersed, and decentralized military operations • Several autonomous or semi-autonomous groups attack from multiple angles • Pulsing – replacing with refreshed groups • Natural evolution with gorilla tactics

  5. Drone Swarm Goals • Fully or semi-autonomous drones • Able to act in unison • Reconfigure at a moment's notice • Able to react and make decisions

  6. Uses • Combat • Mine Discovery • Crop pollination • Pollution tracking • Traffic monitoring • Emergency response • 3D mapping • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvimQq1zvoM

  7. Group Key Communications • Group-oriented Communication • Essentially, one group key that allows communication • New member enters, new group key (forward security) • Member leaves, new group key (backward security)

  8. Group Key Communications • Communication–Computation Efficient Group Key (CCEGK) Protocol • Tree structure • Initialization Operation • Join • Mass Join • Merge • Leave • Mass leave • Split • Key refresh

  9. Problems • Group Key Communication • What has been transmitted is received (noise) • Latency • Storage size • Charging • Small drones, small batteries • The Human Mindset

  10. Current Standing – United States • Universities • Naval postgraduate school, 2015 • http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/military/swarming-drones.html • Kilobots • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnyDAuqorGo#t=96 • Inexpensive, open-source nanocopters

  11. Current Standing – Other Countries • China • Anti-ship swarms, multiple news stories • Switzerland • http://www.fastcompany.com/3015075/fast-feed/the-perfect-tech-storm-3-d-printed-self-assembling-drone-swarms • Portugal • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3ernrkZ91E

  12. Interesting Observations • Not many links for military swarm research • Many seemed to be taken down • Many articles saying the same thing with the same videos • Most public research coming out of Universities
