Presents concepts, principles, and algorithms of swarm behaviors of various biological systems and applies them to mechanical systems in the physical world.   Options for communicating among nodes in a swarm are presented as well as the advantages of multiple antenna systems.  Topics covered includes basic swarm behaviors and modeling, communication techniques, adaptive signal processing, information security/integrity, sensors, single and multi-rotor airborne platforms, embedded system development, and multiple antenna systems.  Students define a mission, develop the appropriate algorithms, test them in an open-source development environment, and instantiate them on a UAV platform.
