Abstract
Swarming and flocking are two words used interchangeably to refer to modeled flight which is biologically inspired by the flight of flocking birds and swarming insects. The capability of biological flight systems to autonomously maneuver, track, and pursue evasive targets in a cluttered environment is vastly superior to current engineered systems. Our effort seeks to fully use the developed understanding of these biological systems to improve the design of engineered guidance and control systems for autonomous UAVs, and in particular parafoil based systems. This paper details our development from concept, through simulation, through successful implementation on fleets of 5 UAV para-gliders.
