03 // Scenarios

14 scenarios, one operating system

Every scenario below runs on the same swarm operating system, in software-in-the-loop simulation before anything touches real hardware. Each card is the goal the scenario tests and the flow it steps through — including where the system pauses for an operator decision.

ISR

01 · Surveillance Grid

Run persistent ISR coverage of an area with an overwatch swarm while the operator decides how to react to any contact.

  1. Overwatch drones fly a selectable search pattern — lines, random grid, or stacked ellipses.
  2. Two static relay nodes provide the communications backhaul.
  3. On a contact, the system pauses for the operator to decide.
  4. Operator retasks to the point of interest, ignores it, or returns to base.
Logistics

02 · Logistics Delivery

A cargo drone flies a pre-planned corridor to a forward landing zone with two escorts, landing only once the operator confirms it's safe.

  1. Cargo drone transits to the LZ at corridor altitude, escorts in close orbit.
  2. Operator gate: LZ secure — clear, re-route, or abort.
  3. Cargo descends and lands; escorts hold overwatch.
  4. Formation returns to depot.
Mixed air + ground

03 · Evacuation Corridor

Evacuate casualties along a prepared corridor using ground shuttles under aerial overwatch, once the operator clears the route.

  1. Air overwatch scouts the corridor in a lawnmower search pattern.
  2. Operator gate: clear corridor for convoy — approve, reroute, or abort.
  3. UGV shuttles convoy along the approved corridor to the evacuation point.
  4. Air overwatch holds station as the convoy completes.
Air defense

04 · Mothership Intercept

Defend a protected area with a mother drone carrying a payload of interceptors, committing only as many as the active threats require plus a configurable backup count.

  1. Mother drone patrols HOME with a full payload.
  2. On detection, it holds at the threat centroid, never closer than a set standoff distance.
  3. It releases threats-plus-backups interceptors; the rest stay attached for later use.
  4. Interceptors engage and neutralize the threats, then the mother recovers and resumes patrol.
Air defense

05 · Ground Battery

Defend a zone with a fixed interceptor battery and EO sensor masts; the operator authorizes weapons release before any engagement.

  1. EO masts continuously scan the airspace for incoming threats.
  2. On detection, the system pauses for operator authorization.
  3. Operator chooses: weapons free, hold fire, or abort.
  4. On weapons free, the battery engages one interceptor per threat plus backups until the airspace is clear.
Air defense

06 · Hybrid CUAS

Defend a protected point with two layers — an airborne mothership handles the outer engagement, a ground battery holds an inner reserve the operator commits only if needed.

  1. Threats approach; the mother drone moves to standoff and engages with outer-layer interceptors.
  2. The ground battery holds fire while the operator watches the outer layer work.
  3. Operator gate: commit inner layer, hold, or stand down.
  4. If committed, the ground battery engages any remaining threats.
Ground / mixed

07 · UGV Patrol

A ground-vehicle swarm patrols a perimeter loop under aerial overwatch; the operator classifies any contact before the swarm reacts.

  1. UGVs patrol a looping perimeter route; an aerial scout sweeps the same area.
  2. After a dwell period, the operator is asked to classify a contact.
  3. Operator chooses: intercept, mark neutral, or continue.
  4. On intercept, the UGVs converge on the contact point, then return to patrol.
Search & rescue

08 · SAR + HITL

A search-and-rescue swarm sweeps a grid for survivors; on an EO contact the system pauses for the operator to confirm before committing a drone to visual ID.

  1. Search swarm flies a selectable sweep pattern over the search area.
  2. On an EO hit, the system pauses for the operator's decision.
  3. Operator chooses: confirm, false alarm, or continue searching.
  4. On confirm, one drone descends for visual ID while the rest keep sweeping.
Reconnaissance

09 · Scout Pathfinder

A sensor-equipped reconnaissance drone flies a pre-calculated low-altitude corridor — terrain-hopping, following valleys and rivers, avoiding known radar stations — and hands its recorded route to a trailing group.

  1. Sensor payload (LIDAR, hyperspectral, SAR, UWB) is armed and the corridor is loaded.
  2. Scout drone follows the corridor at low altitude, optionally terrain-hopping.
  3. Onboard sensors build a high-resolution picture of the route and any obstacles.
  4. The trailing group follows the scout's recorded trail at a configurable offset and altitude.
Mission planning

10 · Planner Corridor (Lviv → Kyiv)

Demonstrate the scenario engine consuming a real pre-computed mission — 441 waypoints across 764 km — with a trailing group following the recorded corridor.

  1. The pre-computed route (coordinates, altitude, heading, speed per waypoint) is loaded.
  2. Scout follows each waypoint in order, honoring the planned heading and altitude profile.
  3. A trailing group follows the scout's recorded trajectory at a configurable offset.
  4. Mission completes when the group reaches the destination.
Close-range air defense

11 · Snake Island Crash Test

A close-range demo where a stationary platform detects an inbound threat using onboard radar only — no external ISR — and commits a fast interceptor to neutralize it before it reaches the protected point.

  1. Platform hovers at low altitude over the protected point.
  2. An inbound threat approaches from close range — slow, low, hard to detect early.
  3. Onboard radar alone picks it up at short range.
  4. A fast interceptor launches and neutralizes the threat before it reaches the protected point.
Convoy / mobile defense

12 · Convoy / SWAT Protection

A moving convoy with onboard interceptors is escorted by a master drone that scans ahead for threats; the operator authorizes any intercept before the convoy's interceptors act.

  1. Convoy advances along its route; the master drone leads at a set offset and altitude.
  2. Master drone detects an airborne threat or one in ambush and hands off the coordinates.
  3. Operator gate: authorize, hold fire, or abort.
  4. On authorization, the convoy's interceptors launch and neutralize the target while the convoy keeps moving.
Navigation resilience

13 · ResilientSwarm Anti-Jamming

Demonstrate that spoofed or jammed GNSS is rejected while the swarm continues on relative navigation, until fallback thresholds require an operator decision.

  1. A master anchor establishes a local origin and distributes a UWB timing schedule.
  2. GNSS is progressively degraded, then rejected after a detected spoofing event.
  3. The swarm holds formation on relative UWB / IMU / visual confidence instead.
  4. As that confidence degrades, the operator chooses: continue degraded, hold, return to base, or land.
Air defense

14 · Bandit-Jet Cluster Intercept

Defend the zone against jet-speed threats that outrun standard interceptors, using coordinated multi-interceptor teams flying a head-on intercept geometry.

  1. EO masts and an ISR uplink scan for fast, inbound jet-type threats.
  2. On detection, the system pauses for weapons-release authorization.
  3. On weapons free, each threat is assigned a small team of interceptors flying a computed head-on intercept.
  4. The team closes and neutralizes the target at engagement range; the operator can abort at any stage before release.
