Drone Squad: Drone Warfare Support at the Squad Level

Abstract

The Drone Squad (DS) is a set of integrated drones that can be used individually or, to reduce computing data, be used in a minimum four squad formation. One drone, of the DS, would be issued to each squad, vehicle, or section (squad will be used as the common term for each). Each drone of the DS would have the ability to conduct observation and then have the capacity to carry different capabilities. The capabilities would be surveying, fires targeting, CBRNE detection, facial recognition, and direct action. When operating as a group the DS would be connected to each other via a network.
