A closer look

Controlling a hundred drones with a hundred joysticks is biologically impossible for a human operator, so engineers taught machines how to mimic flocks of starlings. Swarm coordination protocols don't rely on a central leader; instead, every single drone constantly talks to its immediate neighbors. If one drone gets shot down or blown off course by wind, the entire network organically reconfigures its flight path in milliseconds to complete the objective, making this decentralized artificial intelligence nearly impossible to stop.
