  • Abstract
    This paper explores the idea that it may be possible to combine two ideas - UAV flocking, and wireless cluster computing - in a single system, the UltraSwarm. The possible advantages of such a system are considered, and solutions to some of the technical problems are identified. Initial work on constructing such a system based around miniature electric helicopters is described.
