Abstract

Due to their potential to accomplish complicated missions more effectively, UAV swarms have attracted a lot of attention lately. UAV swarm offers enhanced intelligence, improved coordination, increased flexibility, survivability, and reconfigurability. It is a multi-disciplinary system that necessitates a tight integration of several sub-systems, including optimal trajectory planning, localization, task coordination, etc. This review covers the important aspects of UAV swarms including swarm formation control, communication, swarm path planning, autonomy, coordination, and security. It additionally explores recent technical advancements in UAV swarm algorithms that have made the development of complex UAV…
