DroneEngage SWARM

The following diagram shows the main logic of SWARMS in DroneEngage.


SWARM Logic

Unit-1 is a DroneEngage unit that should be a leader of the swarm. Unit-2 is a DroneEngage unit that should be a follower of the swarm.

Transition to Leader

The process for establishing Unit-1 as the leader is as follows:

  • User clicks on SWARM Leader button to make Unit-1 a leader of the swarm.

  • WebClient Sends AndruavMessage_Make_Swarm Message to Unit-1.

  • Unit-1 receives the message and starts the SWARM Leader mode.

  • Unit-1 sends an updated AndruavMessage_ID to confirm that it is a leader.

Transition to Follower

The process for establishing Unit-2 as a follower is as follows:

  • The user selects Unit-1 as the leader for Unit-2.

  • The WebClient sends an AndruavMessage_Join_Swarm message to Unit-2.

  • Unit-2 receives the message and performs necessary validations, including disassociating from any previous leader, before sending a request to Unit-1 to join the SWARM.

  • Unit-1 receives the request and determines the appropriate location (index) for Unit-2 within the current swarm configuration.

  • Unit-1 responds to Unit-2 with the relevant configuration details (formation shape and location within the formation).

  • Unit-2 receives the configuration reply and, if accepted, sends a confirmation back to Unit-1.

  • Unit-2 then sends an updated AndruavMessage_ID to confirm its status as a follower.
