Re:U.S. Navy Shows Off Unmanned Autonomous 'Swarm Boats' on Tuesday December 20, 2016 @11:11PM (#13226728)
I've heard that the air force has similar technology for autonomous swarm aircraft and it's a game changer. If there's ever another war with serious air to air combat it will be done without pilots on the US side.

Even if outnumbered, the tight coordination of a swarm makes it a powerful force. But since they are pilot less drones, they are cheaper to build and, especially deploy. They don't need regular training, like a pilot.
