Pursuit and Evasion of Drone Swarms and Turrets
… proliferation of inexpensive remotely-controlled drones makes large drone swarms a present reality. Swarms of drones can be useful for overwhelming defensive positions and then loitering in hostile areas near potential adversaries. Even small commercially-available quadcopters can be armed with …

Intelligent orchestration of computation and networking for drone swarm applications
Drone swarms that are equipped with high-resolution sensors and video cameras can benefit many applications (e.g., disaster response management, smart farming, traffic control). This requires sensor localization and access to edge computation and networking resources to provide environmental …

DRONE SWARMING TACTICS IN A CONTESTED ENVIRONMENT
Drone swarms have emerged as a defining feature of modern warfare. This thesis uses agent-based simulation to examine how force composition, weapon technology, and decoy tactics shape the outcomes of swarm attacks. The model pits a layered defender equipped with a mix of weapon and sensor systems …

Persistent Stealthy Attacks and their Detection in Large Distributed Cyber-Physical Systems
… applications: The Smart Grid and Autonomous Drone Swarms. In the first application power theft in the Smart Grid is studied and the difficulty of identifying small persistent attacks between semi-trusted nodes is established. A general approach to handling persistent economic attacks is …
