The concept of drone swarms is taking on new significance as major militaries shift from viewing large numbers of autonomous land, sea, and air vehicles as a threat to treating them as a strategic asset. Navies, in particular, are moving toward hybrid fleets that contain both crewed and autonomous vessels as a way of monitoring much larger areas, freeing up conventional ships for higher-priority missions, and deploy drones as weapon platforms and force multipliers.
